| 2: 15 | Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love (agapē) of the Father is not in those who love the world; |
| 3: 1 | See what love (agapē) the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. |
| 3: 16 | We know love (agapē) by this, that he laid down his life for us - and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. |
| 3: 17 | How does God's love (agapē) abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help? |
