12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.
13By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.
14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.
15If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
