1 John 4:7-14

Moffatt(i) 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love belongs to God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God; 8 he who does not love, does not know God, for God is love. 9 This is how the love of God has appeared for us, by God sending his only Son into the world, so that by him we might live. 10 Love lies in this, not in our love for him but in his love for us — in the sending of his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God had such love for us, we ought to love one another. 12 God no one has ever seen; but if we love one another, then God remains within us, and love for him is complete in us. 13 This is how we may be sure we remain in him and he in us, because he has given us a share in his own Spirit; 14 and we have seen, we can testify, that the Father has sent the Son as the Saviour of the world.
