1 John 4:8-10

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁸ He that does not love does not know God, for God is charity.

⁹ In this was the charity of God demonstrated in us, in that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

¹⁰ In this does the charity consist, not because we had loved God, but because he loved us and has sent his Son to be the reconciliation for our sins.
