The scriptures below are from the WEB Bible.
1 John 4:7-21
7) Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.
8) He who doesn‘t love doesn‘t know God, for God is love.
9) By this was God‘s love revealed in us, that God has sent his only born Son into the world that we might live through him.
10) In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11) Beloved, if God loved us so, we also ought to love one another.
12) No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God remains in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
13) By this we know that we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14) We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.
15) Whoever will confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.
16) We know and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
17) In this love has been made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.
18) There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love.
19) We love Him, because he first loved us.
20) If a man says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn‘t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?
21) This commandment have we from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.
2 John 1:4-6
4) I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
5) Now I beg you, dear lady, not as though I wrote to you a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6) This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, even as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
