He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. (A)In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten (B)Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, (C)not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son (D)to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, (E)if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

Seeing God Through Love

12 (F)No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. 13 (G)By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 14 And (H)we have seen and testify that (I)the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world. 15 (J)Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and (K)he who abides in love abides in God, and God (L)in him.
