See what love the Father has given us,
that we should be called children of God;
and that is what we are.
The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him
(1 John 3:1).

We know love by this,
that he laid down his life for us
—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another
(1 John 3:16).

Little children, let us love,
not in word or speech,
but in truth and action
(1 John 3:18-24).
