1 John 4:7-16
71Beloved, let us 2love one another, for love is from God; and 3everyone who loves is 45born of God and 6knows God. 8The one who does not love does not know God, for 7God is love. 9By this the love of God was manifested 89in us, that 10God has sent His 11only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10In this is love, 12not that we loved God, but that 13He loved us and sent His Son to be 14the propitiation for our sins. 1115Beloved, if God so loved us, 16we also ought to love one another. 1217No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His 18love is perfected in us. 1319By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14We have seen and 20testify that the Father has 21sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
1522Whoever confesses that 23Jesus is the Son of God, God 24abides in him, and he in God. 1625We have come to know and have believed the love which God has 2627for us. 28God is love, and the one who 29abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
