1 John 4:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

⁸ The one who does not love does not know God. For God is love.

⁹ In this was that love of God revealed amongst us: because God sent His only begotten Son into this world, so that we might live through Him.

¹⁰ In this is that love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be a reconciliation for our sins.
