⁸ But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

⁴ But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

⁹ In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
