1 John 4:6-8

Christian Standard Bible

⁶ We are from God. Anyone who knows God listens to us;^(A) anyone who is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.^(B)

Knowing God through Love

⁷ Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God^(C) and knows God. ⁸ The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
