1 John 4:8-13

8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9In this was revealed the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13By this we know that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
