1 John 4:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love. 9By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his only bornSon into the world that we might live through him. 10In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son as the atoning sacrificefor our sins. 11Beloved, if God loved us in this way, we also ought to love one another.
