7  Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God; and everyone that loves has been born of God and knows God.

7  Most beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

7  My beloved, let us love one another: for love is from God; and every one who loves is born of God, and knows God.

8  He that does not love does not know God, because God is love.

8  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

8  Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love.

9  By this the love of God is manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him.

9  In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten 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 [to be ]the propitiation for our sins.

10  Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11  Beloved, if in this way God loved us, indeed we ought to love one another.

11  Most beloved, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12  No one has ever seen God. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

12  No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us

13  (By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.)

13  Hereby we know that we abide 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 as Savior of the world.

15  Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

16  And we have come to know and believe the love which God has in us. God is love, and he that abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

16  And we have believed and have known the love that God has for us. God is love; and he who dwells in love, abides in God.

17  By this love has been perfected with us: that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because just as He is, we also are in this world.

17  Herein is love 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.

17  In this way, the love of God is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment. For as he is, so also are we, in this world.

18  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment. But he that fears has not been made perfect in love.

18  Fear is not in love. Instead, perfect love casts out fear, for fear pertains to punishment. And whoever fears is not perfected in love.

19  We love Him because He first loved us.

19  Therefore, let us love God, for God first loved us.

20  If anyone claims, "I love God,"and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how is it possible [for him] to love God whom he has not seen?

20  If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, cannot love God whom he hath not seen.

20  If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?

21  And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God should love his brother also.
