1 John 4:6 ASV

⁴  Ye are of God, 'my' little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

⁵  They are of the world: therefore speak they 'as' of the world, and the world heareth them.

⁶  We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

⁷  Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.

⁸  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
