1 John 4:8-16

LITV(i) 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. 13 By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because of His Spirit He has given to us. 14 And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and the one abiding in love abides in God, and God in him.
