1 John 4:9-12
9By this the love of God was revealed 12in us, that 3God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.
10In this is love, 4not that we loved God, but that 5He loved us and sent His Son to be 6the 7propitiation for our sins.
118Beloved, if God so loved us, 9we also ought to love one another.
1210No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God remains in us, and His 11love is perfected in us.
