1 John 4:10-14 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (atonement) (sacrificial payment) for our sins.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (atonement) (sacrificial payment) for 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 lives with us, and his love is perfected (accomplished) (matured) through us. ¹³ We know that we live with him and he with us, because he has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ We see and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.
