1 John 4:8-11

Godbey(i) 8 The one not loving with divine love does not know God; because God is divine love. 9 In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him. 10 In him is divine love, not because we loved God with divine love, but because he loved us with divine love, and sent his Son an expiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us with divine love, we ought also to love one another with divine love.
