1John 4:12 · Douay-Rheims
“No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his charity is perfected in us.”
On this verse:
“"No man hath seen God at any time." See, beloved: "If we love one another, God will dwell in us, and His love will be perfected in us." Begin to love; thou shalt be perfected. Hast thou begun to love? God has begun to dwell in thee: love Him that has begun to dwell in thee, that by more perfect indwelling He may make thee perfect.”
