1 John 4:16-21.
God is love; and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. In this love is complete with us, that we may have joy in the day of judgment; for as he is, so are we in this world. Fear is not in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: for fear hath torment. But he that feareth is not wholly in love. Let us love him, for he first loved us. If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother whom he beholdeth, how can he love God whom he beholdeth not? And this commandment have we from him, that he that loveth God love his brother also.
This epistle is laid out according to length among the interpretations of some of the epistles of the apostles, especially printed; which whoever wishes may read there, and take one or more sermons from it for himself or his people; for it would be too long to put them all here.
