1 John 4:7-21

Common English Bible CEB

7 Dear friends, let's love each other, because love is from God, and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God.

8 The person who doesn't love does not know God, because God is love.

9 This is how the love of God is revealed to us: God has sent his only Son into the world so that we can live through him.

10 This is love: it is not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son as the sacrifice that deals with our sins.

11 Dear friends, if God loved us this way, we also ought to love each other.

12 No one has ever seen God. If we love each other, God remains in us and his love is made perfect in us.

13 This is how we know we remain in him and he remains in us, because he has given us a measure of his Spirit.

14 We have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the savior of the world.

15 If any of us confess that Jesus is God's Son, God remains in us and we remain in God.

16 We have known and have believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who remain in love remain in God and God remains in them.

17 This is how love has been perfected in us, so that we can have confidence on the Judgment Day, because we are exactly the same as God is in this world.

18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear expects punishment. The person who is afraid has not been made perfect in love.

19 We love because God first loved us.

20 If anyone says, I love God, and hates a brother or sister, he is a liar, because the person who doesn't love a brother or sister who can be seen can't love God, who can't be seen.

21 This commandment we have from him: Those who claim to love God ought to love their brother and sister also.

New International Version NIV

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

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 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 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

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 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit.

14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.

15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.

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.

17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.

18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.
