1 John 4:10
New Catholic Bible
10 This is what love is:
not that we have loved God,
but that he loved us
and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.[a]
Footnotes
- 1 John 4:10 It was God who first loved us when we had no love for him or even for ourselves (see Rom 5:6-10). He showed his love by sending his Son to atone for our sins (see 1 Jn 2:2). This is the motive for our love for one another.
