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 4propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266. 11 5BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 us, 6we alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240. 12 7NoG3762 oneG3762 has everG4455 seenG2300 GodG2316; ifG1437 we loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, GodG2316 remainsG3306 in us, and His 8loveG26 is perfectedG5048 in us. 13 9By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we remainG3306 in Him and He in us, becauseG3754 He has givenG1325 to us of His SpiritG4151. 14We have seenG2300 and 10testifyG3140 that the FatherG3962 has 11sentG649 the SonG5207 to be the SaviorG4990 of the worldG2889.

15 12WhoeverG3739 G1437 confessesG3670 that 13JesusG2424 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316, GodG2316 14remainsG3306 in him, and he in GodG2316. 16 15We have comeG1097 to knowG1097 and have believedG4100 the loveG26 whichG3739 GodG2316 hasG2192 16 17for us. 18GodG2316 is loveG26, and the one who 19remainsG3306 in loveG26 remainsG3306 in GodG2316, and GodG2316 remainsG3306 in him. 17By thisG3778, 20loveG26 is perfectedG5048 with us, soG2443 thatG2443 we may haveG2192 21confidenceG3954 in 22the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920; becauseG3754 23as He is, we alsoG2532 are in thisG3778 worldG2889. 18There is noG3756 fearG5401 in loveG26, but 24perfectG5046 loveG26 drivesG906 out fearG5401, becauseG3754 fearG5401 25involvesG2192 punishmentG2851, and the one who fearsG5399 is not 26perfectedG5048 in loveG26. 19 27We loveG25, becauseG3754 He firstG4413 lovedG25 us. 20 28IfG1437 someoneG5100 saysG3004, “I loveG25 GodG2316,” and yet he 29hatesG3404 his brotherG80 or sister, he is a 30liarG5583; for 31the one who does not loveG25 his brotherG80 and sister whomG3739 he has seenG3708, 32cannotG1410 G3756 loveG25 GodG2316, whomG3739 he has not seenG3708. 21And 33thisG3778 commandmentG1785 we haveG2192 from Him, that the one who lovesG25 GodG2316 34must alsoG2532 loveG25 his brotherG80 and sister.
