NIV

7 Most dear brethren, love we together, for charity is of God; and each that loveth his brother, is born of God, and knoweth God.
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is charity.
8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
9 In this thing the charity of God appeared in us, for God sent his one begotten Son into the world, that we live by him.
9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
10 In this thing is charity, not as we had loved God, but for he first loved us, and sent his Son forgiveness for our sins [and sent his Son helping for our sins].
10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
11 Ye most dear brethren, if God loved us, [and] we owe to love each other.
11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
12 No man saw ever God; if we love together, God dwelleth in us, and the charity of him is perfect in us.
12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
13 In this thing we know, that we dwell in him, and he in us; for of his Spirit he gave to us.
13 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.
14 And we saw, and witness, that the Father sent his Son Saviour of the world.
14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.
15 Whoever acknowledgeth [Whoever shall acknowledge], that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
16 And we have known, and believe to the charity, that God hath in us. God is charity, and he that dwelleth in charity, dwelleth in God, and God in him.
16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
