4:11 Dear friends, if God so loved us, then ¹  we also ought to love one another. ²  4:12 No one has seen God at any time. ³  If we love one another, God resides ⁴  in us, and his love is perfected in us. ⁵  4:13 By this ⁶  we know that we reside in God ⁷  and he in us: in that he has given us of his Spirit. ⁸  4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior ⁹  of the world.

4:15 If anyone ¹⁰  confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides ¹¹  in him and he in God.
