12. Formal Translation No one has ever beheld God {Theos, Unseen One}. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is brought to fulfillment in us. |
12. Dynamic Translation No one has ever laid eyes on God {Theos, Invisible Presence}. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and His love grows to its fullness within us. |
