TSK · John 17:23

‹For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.›

‹By this shall all› [men] ‹know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.›

Jesus answered and said unto him, ‹If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.›

‹That they all may be one; as thou, Father,› [art] ‹in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.›

‹And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare› [it]: ‹that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.›

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

¶ But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle [you].

¶ Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

We love him, because he first loved us.
