1 John 4:7 BBE

⁵  They are of the world, so their talk is the world's talk, and the world gives ear to them.

⁶  We are of God: he who has the knowledge of God gives ear to us; he who is not of God does not give ear to us. By this we may see which is the true spirit, and which is the spirit of error.

⁷  My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

⁸  He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.

⁹  And the love of God was made clear to us when he sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.
