# God is love
This is a metaphor which means "the character of God is love." See how you translated this in [1 John 4:8](./07.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
# the one who remains in this love
"those who continue to love others"
# remains in God, and God remains in him
To remain in someone means to continue to have fellowship with him. See how you translated "remains in God" in [1 John 2:5-6](../02/04.md). Alternate translation: "continues to have fellowship with God, and God continues to have fellowship with him" or "stays joined with God, and God stays joined with him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
