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.
