John 4:7 |
Beloved, let
us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born
of God and knows God. |
| I
John 4:8 |
The one who
does not love does not know God, for God is love. |
| I
John 4:9 |
By this the
love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son
into the world so that we might live through Him. |
| I
John 4:10 |
In this is
love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be
the propitiation for our sins. |
| I
John 4:11 |
Beloved, if
God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. |
| I
John 4:12 |
No one has
beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His
love is perfected in us. |
| I
John 4:13 |
By this we
know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His
Spirit. |
| I
John 4:14 |
And we have
beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior
of the world. |
| I
John 4:15 |
Whoever
confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. |
| I
John 4:16 |
And we have
come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love,
and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. |
| I
John 4:17 |
By this, love
is perfected with us, that we may have confidence in the day of judgment;
because as He is, so also are we in this world. |
| I
John 4:18 |
There is no
fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves
punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. |
| I
John 4:19 |
We love,
because He first loved us. |
| I
John 4:20 |
If someone
says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the
one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom
he has not seen. |
| I
John 4:21 |
And this
commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his
brother also. |
