1 John 4:8‑16,18‑19• 8He that loveth not knew not God, because God is love.
 9Herein was manifested the love of God in us, that God hath sent His only-begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
 10Herein is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us, and sent his Son [as] propitiation for our sins.
 11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
 12No one hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love hath been perfected in us.
 13Herein we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given to us of his Spirit.
 14And we have beheld, and testify that the Father hath sent his Son as Saviour of the world.
 15Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God abideth in him, and he in God.
 16And we have known and have believed the love which God hath in us. God is love, and he that abideth in love abideth in God, and God in him.
 18There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth hath not been perfected in love.
 19We love, because he first loved us. (1 John 4:8‑16,18‑19)
