Where the connections lead

Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

The gold bar shows how strongly the cross-reference sources tie the two verses together: a long bar means many compiled references make the connection, a short one means few.

1 John 4:4You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.1 John 4:8Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.Ephesians 3:17so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love,Jude 1:21keep yourselves in the love of God as you await the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you eternal life.1 John 3:24Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us.Psalms 36:7–9How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!1 John 3:1Behold what manner of love the Father has given to 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.Psalms 90:1Lord, You have been our dwelling place through all generations.1 John 4:8–10Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.Psalms 18:1–3I love You, O LORD, my strength.1 John 4:12–13No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.1 John 4:9This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.1 John 3:16By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.1 John 5:20And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.1 Corinthians 2:9Rather, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.”Psalms 31:19How great is Your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear You, which You have bestowed before the sons of men on those who take refuge in You!John 6:69We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”1 John 2:24As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father.
