1 John 4:7-16

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. 12 16NoG3762 oneG3762 has everG4455 seenG2300 GodG2316; ifG1437 we loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, GodG2316 remainsG3306 in us, and His 17loveG26 is perfectedG5048 in us. 13 18By 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 19testifyG3140 that the FatherG3962 has 20sentG649 the SonG5207 to be the SaviorG4990 of the worldG2889.

15 21WhoeverG3739 G1437 confessesG3670 that 22JesusG2424 is the SonG5207 of GodG2316, GodG2316 23remainsG3306 in him, and he in GodG2316. 16 24We have comeG1097 to knowG1097 and have believedG4100 the loveG26 whichG3739 GodG2316 hasG2192 25 26for us. 27GodG2316 is loveG26, and the one who 28remainsG3306 in loveG26 remainsG3306 in GodG2316, and GodG2316 remainsG3306 in him.
