1 John 4:7-11

7 1BelovedG27, let’s 2loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240; for loveG26 is from GodG2316, and 3everyoneG3956 who lovesG25 has been 4bornG1080 of GodG2316 and 5knowsG1097 GodG2316.

8The one who does not loveG25 does not knowG1097 GodG2316, becauseG3754 6GodG2316 is loveG26.

9By thisG3778 the loveG26 of GodG2316 was revealedG5319 7 8in us, that 9GodG2316 has sentG649 His onlyG3439 SonG5207 into the worldG2889 soG2443 thatG2443 we may liveG2198 throughG1223 Him.

10In thisG3778 is loveG26, 10not that we lovedG25 GodG2316, but that 11He lovedG25 us and sentG649 His SonG5207 to be 12the 13propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266.

11 14BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 us, 15we alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240.
