1 John 4:7-12
Legacy Standard Bible

God Is Love

7 (A)Beloved, let us (B)love one another, for love is from God; and (C)everyone who loves has been [a](D)born of God and (E)knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, because (F)God is love. 9 By this the love of God was manifested [b](G)in us, that (H)God has sent His [c]only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, (I)not that we have loved God, but that (J)He loved us and sent His Son to be (K)the propitiation for our sins. 11 (L)Beloved, if God so loved us, (M)we also ought to love one another. 12 (N)No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His (O)love is perfected in us.
