1 John 4:7–12

Scripture Reading

1 John 4:7–127 Dear friends, let us love one another,

for love comes from God. Everyone who

loves has been born of God and knows

God.

1 John 4:7–128 Whoever does not love does not know

God, because God is love. 9 This is how

God showed his love among us: He sent

his one and only Son into the world

that we might live through him.

1 John 4:7–1210 This is love: not that we loved God,

but that he loved us and sent his Son

as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we

also ought to love one another.

1 John 4:7–1212 No one has ever seen God;

but if we love one another, God lives in

us and his love is made complete in us.

“God Is Love”
