If we love one another, God dwells in us, and His love is perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we dwell in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwells in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. 17 In this love has been perfected among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. He who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love Him because He first loved us.
