1 John 4:7-12 Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God, and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Beloved, let us love one another, because love is of God, and everyone who loves has been born of God, and knows God. ⁸ The one who does not love has not known God, because God is love. ⁹ By this the love of God was revealed in us, because His Son, the Only begotten, God has sent into the world 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 to be a propitiation relating to our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. ¹² No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love having been perfected is in us.
