6We are of God; he that knows God hears us; he that is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
7Beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. Anyone that loves is born of God and knows God.
16And we have known and believed the charity that God has in us. God is charity, and he that abides in charity abides in God, and God in him.
