1 John 4:8-10

8The one who does not loveG25 does not knowG1097 GodG2316, for 1GodG2316 is loveG26.

9By thisG3778 the loveG26 of GodG2316 was manifestedG5319 23in us, that 4GodG2316 has sentG649 His 5onlyG3439 begottenG3439 SonG5207 into the worldG2889 soG2443 that we might liveG2198 throughG1223 Him.

10In thisG3778 is loveG26, 6not that we lovedG25 GodG2316, but that 7He lovedG25 us and sentG649 His SonG5207 to be 8the propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266.
