1John:4:9-11
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.
