The one who says he resides in God ought himself to walk just as Jesus walked.

We love because he loved us first.

Now this is the promise that he himself made to us: eternal life.

and he himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for our sins but also for the whole world.

By this we know that we reside in God and he in us: in that he has given us of his Spirit.

If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God.

But if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

And the person who keeps his commandments resides in God, and God in him. Now by this we know that God resides in us: by the Spirit he has given us.

In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
