If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.

All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God.

And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.

Whoever confesses  that Jesus is the Son of God — God remains in him and he in God.

In this, love is made complete with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment,  because as he is, so also are we in this world.

Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

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.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.

This is how we know we’re living steadily and deeply in him, and he in us: He’s given us life from his life, from his very own Spirit. Also, we’ve seen for ourselves and continue to state openly that the Father sent his Son as Savior of the world. Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God’s Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God.

God is love. When we take up permanent residence in a life of love, we live in God and God lives in us. This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we’re free of worry on Judgment Day—our standing in the world is identical with Christ’s. There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love.

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God.

By this love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because just as Jesus is, so also are we in this world.
