1 John 4:7-12
God Is Love
7aBeloved, let us blove one another, for love is from God; and ceveryone who loves has been 1,dborn of God and eknows God. 8The one who does not love does not know God, because aGod is love. 9By this the love of God was manifested 1,ain us, that bGod has sent His 2only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10In this is love, anot that we have loved God, but that bHe loved us and sent His Son to be cthe propitiation for our sins. 11aBeloved, if God so loved us, bwe also ought to love one another. 12aNo one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His blove is perfected in us.
