Love Verses

And account {that} the longsuffering of our Lord {is} salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know {these things} before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.

But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. {occasion...: Gr. scandal}

Love not the world, neither the things {that are} in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. {message: or, commandment}

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not {his} brother abideth in death.

Hereby perceive we the love {of God}, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down {our} lives for the brethren.

But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels {of compassion} from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
