The Knowledge of Knowing We Live In Him (I John 4:13-16) God's Word and The Message Translations

GOD'S WORD TRANSLATION
13  We know that we live in him and he lives in us because he has given us his Spirit.
14  We have seen and testify to the fact that the Father sent his Son as the Savior of the world. 
15  God lives in those who declare that Jesus is the Son of God, and they live in God. 
16  We have known and believed that God loves us. God is love. Those who live in God’s love live in God, and God lives in them.

THE MESSAGE TRANSLATION
13-16  This is how we know we’re living steadily and deeply in him, and he in us: He’s given us life from his life, from his very own Spirit. Also, we’ve seen for ourselves and continue to state openly that the Father sent his Son as Savior of the world. Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God’s Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we’ve embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God.
