1 John 4:8-13

8The one who does not loveG25 does not knowG1097 GodG2316, becauseG3754 1GodG2316 is loveG26.

9By thisG3778 the loveG26 of GodG2316 was revealedG5319 2 3in us, that 4GodG2316 has sentG649 His onlyG3439 SonG5207 into the worldG2889 soG2443 thatG2443 we may liveG2198 throughG1223 Him.

10In thisG3778 is loveG26, 5not that we lovedG25 GodG2316, but that 6He lovedG25 us and sentG649 His SonG5207 to be 7the 8propitiationG2434 for our sinsG266.

11 9BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG2316 soG3779 lovedG25 us, 10we alsoG2532 oughtG3784 to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240.

12 11NoG3762 oneG3762 has everG4455 seenG2300 GodG2316; ifG1437 we loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, GodG2316 remainsG3306 in us, and His 12loveG26 is perfectedG5048 in us.

13 13By thisG3778 we knowG1097 that we remainG3306 in Him and He in us, becauseG3754 He has givenG1325 to us of His SpiritG4151.
