1 John 4:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]They are of this world, therefore spake they of this world, and this world heareth them.
6 [b]We are of God, (A)he that knoweth God, heareth us: he that is not of God heareth us not. Hereby know we the [c]Spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 [d]Beloved, let us love one another: [e]for love cometh of God, and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
