“in this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son [as] the propitiation for our sins.”— 1 John 4:10 (LSV)
7Beloved, may we love one another, because love is of God, and everyone loving has been begotten of God, and knows God;
8he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.
9In this was revealed the love of God in us, because God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we may live through Him;
10in this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son [as] the propitiation for our sins.
11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another;
12no one has ever seen God; if we may love one another, God remains in us, and His love is having been perfected in us;
13in this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us, because of His Spirit He has given us.
