ACV(i)
7 Beloved, we should love each other. Because love is of God, and every man who loves has been begotten of God, and knows God.
8 He who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 By this the love of God was made known in us, because God sent his Son, the only begotten, into the world so that we might live through him.
10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, an atonement for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also are obligated to love each other.
12 No man has ever seen God. If we love each other, God abides in us, and his love is in us, having been fully perfected.
13 In this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us from his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son, a Savior of the world.
15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
16 And we know, and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
