We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love
the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
(First Ep. of John, iii. 14.)
But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need,
and shutteth, up his heart from him, how dwelleth the love of God
in him? (_Ib._ iii. 17.)
My children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in
deed and in truth. (_Ib._ iii. 18.)
Love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and
knoweth God. (_Ib._ iv. 7.)
