1 John 4:7-10

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born^[a] of God, and knoweth God.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

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.

10 Herein* is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
