nsb - 1John:4:7-21

nsb@1John:4:7 @ Beloved let us love one another, for love is from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

nsb@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God for God is love.

nsb@1John:4:9 @ The love of God was made known through us. God sent his only-begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

nsb@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

nsb@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

nsb@1John:4:12 @ No one has seen God at any time! If we love one another, God lives with us, and his love is perfected through us.

nsb@1John:4:13 @ We know that we live with him and he with us, because he has given us of his Spirit.

nsb@1John:4:14 @ We see and testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world.

nsb@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives with him, and he with God.

nsb@1John:4:16 @ We know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love! He who continues with love lives with God and God lives with him.

nsb@1John:4:17 @ This is love made perfect through us, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment. Just as he is, we are, amid this world.

nsb@1John:4:18 @ There is no fear in love. Perfect love throws out fear because fear involves restraint. He who fears is not made perfect through love.

nsb@1John:4:19 @ We love, because he first loved us.

nsb@1John:4:20 @ If a man says, I love God, yet he hates his brother, he is a liar! He who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

nsb@1John:4:21 @ We have this commandment from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also.
