²⁸ And we know that for those who love God all things work together ^(A)for good,^[a] for ^(B)those who are called according to his purpose.

^23 (A)I in them and you in me, ^(B)that they may become perfectly one, ^(C)so that the world may know that you sent me and ^(D)loved them even as ^(E)you loved me. ²⁴ Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be ^(F)with me ^(G)where I am, ^(H)to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me ^(I)before the foundation of the world. ^25 (J)O righteous Father, even though ^(K)the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me. ^26 (L)I made known to them your name, and I will continue to make it known, that the love ^(M)with which you have loved me may be in them, and ^(N)I in them.”

God Is Love

⁷ Beloved, ^(A)let us love one another, for love is from God, and ^(B)whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. ^8 (C)Anyone who does not love does not know God, because ^(D)God is love. ⁹ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that ^(E)God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love, ^(F)not that we have loved God ^(G)but that he loved us and sent his Son to be ^(H)the propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
