1 John 4:7-12

CLV(i) 7 Beloved, we should be loving one another, for love is of God, and everyone who is loving God is begotten of God, and knows God." 8 He who is not loving knew not God, for God is love." 9 In this was manifested the love of God among us, that God has dispatched His only-begotten Son into the world that we should be living through Him." 10 In this is love, not that we love God, but that He loves us, and dispatches His son, a propitiatory shelter concerned with our sins." 11 Beloved, if thus God loves us, we also ought to be loving one another." 12 No one has ever gazed upon God. If we should be loving one anohter, God is remaining in us, and His love is perfected in us."
