1 John 4:6 in Context — 1 John 4
4 Vous, petits enfants, vous êtes de Dieu, et vous les avez vaincus, parce que celui qui est en vous est plus grand que celui qui est dans le monde.
5 Eux, ils sont du monde; c’est pourquoi ils parlent d’après le monde, et le monde les écoute.
6 Nous, nous sommes de Dieu; celui qui connaît Dieu nous écoute; celui qui n’est pas de Dieu ne nous écoute pas: c’est par là que nous connaissons l’esprit de la vérité et l’esprit de l’erreur.
7 Bien-aimés, aimons nous les uns les autres; car l’amour est de Dieu, et quiconque aime est né de Dieu et connaît Dieu.
8 Celui qui n’aime pas n’a pas connu Dieu, car Dieu est amour.
