← 1 John 4:11	1 John 4:12 (KJV)	1 John 4:13 →
Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.	No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.	Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
