1 John 4:7-16

7BelovedG27, let us loveG25 one anotherG240, becauseG3754 loveG26 comesG1510 fromG1537 GodG2316. EveryoneG3956 whoG3588 lovesG25 has been bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 andG2532 knowsG1097 GodG2316. 8WhoeverG3588 does not loveG3361G25 does not knowG3756G1097 GodG2316, becauseG3754 GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26.

9This is howG1722G3778 God’sG2316 loveG26 was revealedG5319 amongG1722 usG1473: GodG2316 sentG649 HisG846 one and onlyG34391 SonG5207 intoG1519 theG3588 worldG2889, so thatG2443 we might liveG2198 throughG1223 HimG846. 10And loveG26 consistsG1510 inG1722 thisG3778: notG3756 thatG3754 weG1473 lovedG25 GodG2316, butG235 thatG3754 HeG846 lovedG25 usG1473 andG2532 sentG649 HisG846 SonG5207 as the atoning sacrificeG24342 forG4012 ourG1473 sinsG266.

11BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 usG1473, weG1473 alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to loveG25 one anotherG240. 12No oneG3762 has ever seenG2300G4455 GodG2316; but ifG1437 we loveG25 one anotherG240, GodG2316 remainsG3306 inG1722 usG1473, andG2532 HisG846 loveG26 isG1510 perfectedG5048 inG1722 usG1473. 13ByG1722 thisG3778 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we remainG3306 inG1722 HimG846, andG2532 HeG846 inG1722 usG1473: He has givenG1325 usG1473 ofG1537 HisG846 SpiritG4151. 14AndG2532 weG1473 have seenG2300 andG2532 testifyG3140 thatG3754 theG3588 FatherG3962 has sentG649 His SonG5207 to be the SaviorG4990 of theG3588 worldG2889.

15IfG1437 anyoneG3739 confessesG3670 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG1510 theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316, GodG2316 abidesG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 GodG2316. 16AndG2532 weG1473 have come to knowG1097 andG2532 believeG4100 theG3588 loveG26 thatG3739 GodG2316 hasG2192 forG1722 usG1473. GodG2316 isG1510 loveG26; whoeverG3588 abidesG3306 inG1722 loveG26 abidesG3306 inG1722 GodG2316, andG2532 GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.
