1 John 4:8-11 The one who does not love has not known God. For God is love.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ The one who does not love has not known God. For God is love. ⁹ In this the love of God was revealed in us, because God sent His only begotten Son 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 the propitiation concerning our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
