Luke 2:8–20 (ESV)
Luke 2:8 And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luke 2:9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear.
Luke 2:10 And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
Luke 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Luke 2:16 And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger.
Luke 2:17 And when they saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child.
Luke 2:18 And all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them.
Luke 2:19 But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.
Luke 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

1 John 4:7–21 (ESV)
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
1 John 4:10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
1 John 4:12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
1 John 4:13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.
1 John 4:14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
1 John 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
1 John 4:17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world.
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.
1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us.
1 John 4:20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
1 John 4:21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
