1 John 4:8-11 He who is not loving knew not God, for God is love."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ 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."
