1 John 4:7-12

God Is Love

7Beloved, flet us love one another, for love is from God, and gwhoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 hAnyone who does not love does not know God, because iGod is love. 9In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that jGod sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10In this is love, knot that we have loved God lbut that he loved us and sent his Son to be mthe propitiation for our sins. 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 nNo one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and ohis love is perfected in us.
