1 John 3:4, 5:18 ESV

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

1 John 4:16, 4:18, 3:18 ESV

So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

* 영지주의에 맞서 요한은 순전한 사랑을 역설한다. 우리 안의 사랑은 두려움을 이긴다. 참된 사랑함이 세상을 변혁한다. 추석 연휴, 그 본이 된 어느 가정에게 감사한다. 자신을 높이는 자는 낮아질 것이요, 약한 지체를 섬기는 이는 기억될 것이다.
