Berean Standard Bible
“Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”
This verse begins 4:7-21, the most sustained reflection on love anywhere in the Bible. It follows John's teaching on testing the spirits, as if to say that sound belief about Christ must be matched by love for one another.
