1 John 4:7-21
Love Comes from God

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

7:

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

8:

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

9:

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son [to be] the propitiation for our sins.

10:

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

11:

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

12:

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

13:

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son [to be] the Saviour of the world.

14:

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.

15:

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

16:

17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.

17:

18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

18:

19 We love him, because he first loved us.

19:

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

20:

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

21:
