1 John 4:7-12 ESV
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that he loved us and sent his Son to the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
