1 John 4:7-16

7Beloved, let us love one another; because love is of 1God, and every one that loves has been begotten of 2God, and knows 3God.

8He that loves not has not known 4God; for 5God is love.

9Herein as to us has been manifested the love of 6God, that 7God has sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10Herein is love, not that we loved 8God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins.

11Beloved, if 9God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

12No one has seen 10God at any time: if we love one another, 11God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

13Hereby we know that we abide in him and he in us, that he has given to us of his Spirit.

14And we have seen, and testify, that the Father has sent the Son [as] Saviour of the world.

15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of 12God, 13God abides in him, and he in 14God.

16And we have known and have believed the love which 15God has to us. 16God is love, and he that abides in love abides in 17God, and 18God in him.
