web@1John:4:8 @He who doesn't love doesn't know God, for God is love.
web@1John:4:9 @By this God's love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
web@1John:4:10 @In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrifice {"atoning sacrifice" is from the Greek "hilasmos," an appeasing, propitiating, or the means of appeasement or propitiation--the sacrifice that turns away God's wrath because of our sin.} for our sins.
web@1John:4:11 @Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
