1 John 47-11
v.7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love
is from God and everyone who loves is born of
God and knows God. v.8 The one who does not love
does not know God, for God is love.

1 John 4 7-11
v.9 By this the love of God was manifested in
us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into
the world so that we might live through Him. v.10
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that
He loved us and sent His Son to be the
propitiation for our sins. v.11 Beloved, if God
so loved us, we also ought to live one another.
