If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world – the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does – comes not from the Father but from the world.

We know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
