1 John 4:10-21

10In thisG3778 is loveG26, 1not that we lovedG25 GodG2316, but that 2He lovedG25 us and sentG649 His SonG5207 to be 3the propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266. 114BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 us, 5we alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240. 126NoG3762 oneG3762 has seenG2300 GodG2316 at anyG4455 timeG4455; ifG1437 we loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, GodG2316 abidesG3306 in us, and His 7loveG26 is perfectedG5048 in us. 138By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we abideG3306 in Him and He in us, becauseG3754 He has givenG1325 us of His SpiritG4151. 14We have seenG2300 and 9testifyG3140 that the FatherG3962 has 10sentG649 the SonG5207 to be the SaviorG4990 of the worldG2889.

1511WhoeverG3739G1437 confessesG3670 that 12JesusG2424 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316, GodG2316 13abidesG3306 in him, and he in GodG2316. 1614We have comeG1097 to knowG1097 and have believedG4100 the loveG26 whichG3739 GodG2316 hasG2192 1516for us. 17GodG2316 is loveG26, and the one who 18abidesG3306 in loveG26 abidesG3306 in GodG2316, and GodG2316 abidesG3306 in him. 17By thisG3778, 19loveG26 is perfectedG5048 with us, so that we may haveG2192 20confidenceG3954 in 21the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920; becauseG3754 22as He is, so alsoG2532 are we in thisG3778 worldG2889. 18There is noG3756 fearG5401 in loveG26; but 23perfectG5046 loveG26 castsG906 out fearG5401, becauseG3754 fearG5401 24involvesG2192 punishmentG2851, and the one who fearsG5399 is not 25perfectedG5048 in loveG26. 1926We loveG25, becauseG3754 He firstG4413 lovedG25 us. 2027IfG1437 someoneG5100 saysG3004, “I loveG25 GodG2316,” and 28hatesG3404 his brotherG80, he is a 29liarG5583; for 30the one who does not loveG25 his brotherG80 whomG3739 he has seenG3708, 31cannotG1410G3756 loveG25 GodG2316 whomG3739 he has not seenG3708. 21And 32thisG3778 commandmentG1785 we haveG2192 from Him, that the one who lovesG25 GodG2316 33should loveG25 his brotherG80 alsoG2532.
