1 John 4:7-10
New International Version
God’s Love and Ours
7 Dear friends, let us love one another,(A) for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God(B) and knows God.(C) 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.(D) 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son(E) into the world that we might live through him.(F) 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us(G) and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.(H)

1 John 4:7-10
J.B. Phillips New Testament
Let us love: God has shown us love at its highest
7-8 To you whom I love I say, let us go on loving one another, for love comes from God. Every man who truly loves is God’s son and has some knowledge of him. But the man who does not love cannot know him at all, for God is love.
9-10 To us, the greatest demonstration of God’s love for us has been his sending his only Son into the world to give us life through him. We see real love, not in that fact that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to make personal atonement for our sins.

Dios es amor
7 Amados(A), amémonos unos a otros(B), porque el amor es[a] de Dios, y todo el que ama(C) es nacido[b] de Dios(D) y conoce a Dios(E). 8 El que no ama no conoce a Dios, porque Dios es amor(F). 9 En esto se manifestó el amor de Dios en nosotros[c](G): en que Dios ha enviado a Su Hijo unigénito al mundo para que vivamos por medio de Él(H). 10 En esto consiste[d] el amor: no en que nosotros hayamos amado[e] a Dios(I), sino en que Él nos amó a nosotros(J) y envió a Su Hijo como propiciación por nuestros pecados(K).
