If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfect in vs. 13 Hereby know we, that we dwell in him, & he in vs: because he hath giuen vs of his Spirit. 14 And we haue seene, & doe testifie, that the Father sent that Sonne to be ye Sauiour of the world. 15 Whosoeuer confesseth that Iesus is the Sone of God, in him dwelleth God, & he in God. 16 And we haue knowen, & beleeued ye loue that God hath in vs. God is loue, and he that dwelleth in loue, dwelleth in God, & God in him.

Nowe I know in part: but then shall I know euen as I am knowen. 13 And nowe abideth faith, hope and loue, euen these three: but the chiefest of these is loue.
