If we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13 By this, we know that we remain in Him and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in them, and they in God. 16 And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us.
