约翰一书 3:11-24
彼此相爱
3:11 我们应当彼此相爱，这就是你们从起初所听见的命令。
3:12 不可像该隐，他是属那恶者，杀了他的兄弟。为什么杀了他呢？因自己的行为是恶的，兄弟的行为是善的。
3:13 弟兄们，世人若恨你们，不要以为希奇。
3:14 我们因为爱弟兄，就晓得是已经出死入生了。没有爱心的，仍住在死中。
3:15 凡恨他弟兄的，就是杀人的；你们晓得凡杀人的，没有永生存在他里面。
3:16 主为我们舍命，我们从此就知道何为爱，我们也当为弟兄舍命。
3:17 凡有世上财物的，看见弟兄穷乏，却塞住怜恤的心，爱 神的心怎能存在他里面呢？
3:18 小子们哪，我们相爱，不要只在言语和舌头上，总要在行为和诚实上。
在 神面前安稳
3:19 从此，就知道我们是属真理的，并且我们的心在 神面前可以安稳。
3:20 我们的心若责备我们， 神比我们的心大，一切事没有不知道的。
3:21 亲爱的弟兄啊，我们的心若不责备我们，就可以向 神坦然无惧了。
3:22 并且我们一切所求的，就从他得着，因为我们遵守他的命令，行他所喜悦的事。
3:23 神的命令就是叫我们信他儿子耶稣基督的名，且照他所赐给我们的命令彼此相爱。
3:24 遵守 神命令的，就住在 神里面， 神也住在他里面。我们所以知道 神住在我们里面，是因他所赐给我们的圣灵。
约翰一书 4:7-21
神就是爱
4:7 亲爱的弟兄啊，我们应当彼此相爱，因为爱是从 神来的。凡有爱心的，都是由 神而生，并且认识 神。
4:8 没有爱心的，就不认识 神，因为 神就是爱。
4:9 神差他独生子到世间来，使我们藉着他得生， 神爱我们的心在此就显明了。
4:10 不是我们爱 神，乃是 神爱我们，差他的儿子，为我们的罪作了挽回祭，这就是爱了。
4:11 亲爱的弟兄啊， 神既是这样爱我们，我们也当彼此相爱。
4:12 从来没有人见过 神，我们若彼此相爱， 神就住在我们里面，爱他的心在我们里面得以完全了。
4:13 神将他的灵赐给我们，从此就知道我们是住在他里面，他也住在我们里面。
4:14 父差子作世人的救主，这是我们所看见且作见证的。
4:15 凡认耶稣为 神儿子的， 神就住在他里面，他也住在 神里面。
4:16 神爱我们的心，我们也知道、也信。神就是爱！住在爱里面的，就是住在 神里面， 神也住在他里面。
4:17 这样，爱在我们里面得以完全，我们就可以在审判的日子坦然无惧。因为他如何，我们在这世上也如何。
4:18 爱里没有惧怕；爱既完全，就把惧怕除去，因为惧怕里含着刑罚，惧怕的人在爱里未得完全。
4:19 我们爱，因为 神先爱我们。
4:20 人若说“我爱 神”，却恨他的弟兄，就是说谎话的；不爱他所看见的弟兄，就不能爱没有看见的 神（注：有古卷作“怎能爱没有看见的 神呢？”）。
4:21 爱 神的，也当爱弟兄，这是我们从 神所受的命令。
Love One Another
1 John 3:11-24 (NIV)
11This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
12Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.
13Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
15Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
17If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?
18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
19This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence
20whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
21Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God
22and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.
23And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
24Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
God’s Love And Ours
1 John 4:7-21 (NIV)
7Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
10This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
13We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
14And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
15If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God.
16And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
17In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him.
18There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19We love because he first loved us.
20If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
21And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.
