1 John 4:10-16
English Standard Version
10 In this is love, (A)not that we have loved God (B)but that he loved us and sent his Son to be (C)the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 (D)No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and (E)his love is perfected in us.
13 (F)By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And (G)we have seen and testify that (H)the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of (I)the world. 15 (J)Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So (K)we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. (L)God is love, and (M)whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

King James Version
1 John 4:10-16
King James Version
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the 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 dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
