WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ God’s love was made real within us by this: God sent His only begotten Son into the world in order that we might live through Him. ¹⁰ In this is the love, not that we loved God but that He loved us—He even sent His Son as the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Dear ones, since God loved us in this way we are obligated to love one another, really. ¹² No one has ever looked at God. If we love one another, God remains in us and His love is being perfected in us. ¹³ By this we know that we remain in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. ¹⁴ Yes, we have observed and do testify 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.
