5 aThey are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and bthe world hears them.
6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. aBy this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
Knowing God Through Love
7 aBeloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who bloves is born of God and knows God.
8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
9 aIn this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten bSon into the world, that we might live through Him.
