We know that we abide in Him,
As He also abides in us;
Giving us His spiritual vim,
Since He gave His Spirit as thus.
For we have seen to testify,
That the Father had sent His Son;
In which nobody can deny,
Our Savior to be the One.
Whosoever that shall confess,
That Jesus is the Son of God;
Will abide in God who will bless,
Worshipping to honor and laud.
So we come to know and believe,
The love of God for you and me;
For the love of God we receive,
Gives you the insight as to see.
By this is love is made perfect,
So that we may have confidence;
Judgment Day you do not neglect,
Christ being there for your defense.
There is not any fear in love,
Because perfect love casts out fear;
For fear is punishment thereof,
When letting love to disappear.
We love because He first loved us,
While hate will make Him a liar;
Despite another that you cuss,
Having a lustful desire.
He who does not love his brother,
How can he love the unseen God;
Has no love for any other,
Except if lured to make you flawed.
This commandment we have from God,
Whoso loves God loves his brother;
All of His work he will applaud,
Knows only God and no other.
