1John:4:8-11
tcent@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
tcent@1John:4:9 @ In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him.
tcent@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.
tcent@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
