rsv 1John:4:7-16
rsv@1John:4:7 @ Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God.
rsv@1John:4:8 @ He who does not love does not know God; for God is love.
rsv@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.
rsv@1John:4:10 @ In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.
rsv@1John:4:11 @ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
rsv@1John:4:12 @ No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
rsv@1John:4:13 @ By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own Spirit.
rsv@1John:4:14 @ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world.
rsv@1John:4:15 @ Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
rsv@1John:4:16 @ So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.
