16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, so are we in this world.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments; and his commandments are not grievous.
4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
