1 Timothy 1:13-16
New King James Version
13 although (A)I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an [a]insolent man; but I obtained mercy because (B)I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14 (C)And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, (D)with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 15 (E)This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance, that (F)Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 16 However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.

1 John 4:9-14
New King James Version
9 (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.
