1 John 4:9-15 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.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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.
