1 John 4:7-10
Chapter 4
7
God Is Love
Beloved, let us love one another because love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.8
Those who do not love have not known God, for God is love.
9
How has the love of God appeared among us? God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him.
10
This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us first and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
