1 John 4:10-19
New Living Translation
10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.
11 Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other. 12 No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us.
13 And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us. 14 Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 All who declare that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God. 16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love. 19 We love each other[a] because he loved us first.

1 John 4:10-19
New International Version
10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us(A) and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.(B) 11 Dear friends,(C) since God so loved us,(D) we also ought to love one another.(E) 12 No one has ever seen God;(F) but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.(G)
13 This is how we know(H) that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.(I) 14 And we have seen and testify(J) that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.(K) 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,(L) God lives in them and they in God.(M) 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love.(N) Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.(O) 17 This is how love is made complete(P) among us so that we will have confidence(Q) on the day of judgment:(R) In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear,(S) because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us.(T)
