1 John 4:7-16

7BelovedG27, let us loveG25 one anotherG240: forG3754 loveG3588G26 isG1510 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316; andG2532 every oneG3956 thatG3588 lovethG25 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 knowethG1097 GodG3588G2316. 8He that lovethG25 notG3361 knowethG1097 notG3756 GodG3588G2316; forG3754 GodG3588G2316 isG1510 loveG26. 9InG1722 thisG3778 was manifestedG5319 the loveG3588G26 of GodG3588G2316 towardG1722 usG1473, because thatG3754 GodG3588G2316 sentG649 hisG846 only begottenG3439 SonG3588G5207 intoG1519 the worldG3588G2889, thatG2443 we might liveG2198 throughG1223 himG846. 10HereinG1722 isG1510 loveG3588G26, notG3756 thatG3754 weG1473 lovedG25 GodG3588G2316, butG235 thatG3754 heG846 lovedG25 usG1473, andG2532 sentG649 hisG846 SonG3588G5207 to be the propitiationG2434 forG4012 ourG1473 sinsG3588G266. 11BelovedG27, ifG1487 GodG3588G2316 soG3779 lovedG25 usG1473, weG1473 oughtG3784 alsoG2532 to loveG25 one anotherG240. 12No manG3762 hath seenG2300 GodG2316 at any timeG4455. IfG1437 we loveG25 one anotherG240, GodG3588G2316 dwellethG3306 inG1722 usG1473, andG2532 hisG846 loveG3588G26 isG1510 perfectedG5048 inG1722 usG1473. 13HerebyG1722 know weG1097 thatG3754 we dwellG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 usG1473, becauseG3754 he hath givenG1325 usG1473 ofG1537 hisG846 SpiritG3588G4151. 14AndG2532 weG1473 have seenG2300 andG2532 do testifyG3140 thatG3754 the FatherG3588G3962 sentG649 the SonG3588G5207 to be the SaviourG4990 of the worldG3588G2889. 15WhosoeverG3739 shall confessG3670 thatG3754 JesusG2424 isG1510 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316, GodG3588G2316 dwellethG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 GodG3588G2316. 16AndG2532 weG1473 have knownG1097 andG2532 believedG4100 the loveG3588G26 thatG3739 GodG3588G2316 hathG2192 toG1722 usG1473. GodG3588G2316 isG1510 loveG26; andG2532 he that dwellethG3306 inG1722 loveG3588G26 dwellethG3306 inG1722 GodG3588G2316, andG2532 GodG3588G2316 inG1722 himG846.
