1 John 4:7-16

Wesley(i) 7 Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 Hereby was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, a propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify, that the Father sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess, that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God. 16 And we know and believe the love that God hath to us. God is love, and he that abideth in love, abideth in God, and God in him.
