¹ Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. Whoever loves the father also loves the child who is born of him.

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven't come of myself, but he sent me.

¹² But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:

¹³ who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

⁴ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world: your faith.

²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of him.

²² Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.

²³ Whoever denies the Son, the same doesn't have the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.

²³ He who hates me, hates my Father also.

⁹ that if you will confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

¹⁰ For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

¹⁷ But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?

² By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God,

³ Jesus answered him, "Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born anew,{The word translated "anew" here and in John 3:7 (anothen) also means "again" and "from above".} he can't see the Kingdom of God."

¹⁶ Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

²⁰ If a man says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn't love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?

¹⁸ Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

³ Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy became our father again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

²² Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:

²³ having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

¹⁰ He who loves his brother remains in the light, and there is no occasion for stumbling in him.

⁹ Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother remains in death.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God, and knows God.

¹⁴ We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as the Savior of the world.

¹⁵ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him, and he in God.

⁶⁹ We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God."
