1 John 4:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

13 By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.

14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.

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