God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might live through him.(A) 10 In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.(B) 11 Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.(C) 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.(D)

13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.

  1. 5.2 Other ancient authorities read you

Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus,(A)

who, though he existed in the form of God,
    did not regard equality with God
    as something to be grasped,(B)
but emptied himself,
    taking the form of a slave,
    assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(C)
    he humbled himself
    and became obedient to the point of death—
    even death on a cross.(D)

Therefore God exalted him even more highly
    and gave him the name
    that is above every other name,(E)
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
    every knee should bend,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,(F)
11 and every tongue should confess
    that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.(G)
