God’s Love and Ours

⁷Dear friends, let us love one another,^(A) for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God^(B) and knows God.^(C) ⁸Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.^(D) ⁹This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son^(E) into the world that we might live through him.^(F) ¹⁰This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us^(G) and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.^(H) ¹¹Dear friends,^(I) since God so loved us,^(J) we also ought to love one another.^(K) ¹²No one has ever seen God;^(L) but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.^(M)

¹³This is how we know^(N) that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.^(O) ¹⁴And we have seen and testify^(P) that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.^(Q) ¹⁵If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God,^(R) God lives in them and they in God.^(S) ¹⁶And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love.^(T) Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.^(U)

New International Version

³¹The one who comes from above^(A) is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth.^(B) The one who comes from heaven is above all. ³²He testifies to what he has seen and heard,^(C) but no one accepts his testimony.^(D) ³³Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. ³⁴For the one whom God has sent^(E) speaks the words of God, for God^[a] gives the Spirit^(F) without limit. ³⁵The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands.^(G) ³⁶Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,^(H) but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.
