1 John 4:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God, [a]for God is [b]love.
9 (A)Herein was that love of God made manifest amongst us, because God sent that his only begotten Son into this world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is that love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be a reconciliation for our sins.

- 1 John 4:8 A confirmation: For it is the nature of God to love men, whereof we have a most manifest proof above all others: in that that of his only free and infinite goodwill towards us his enemies, he delivered unto death not a common man, but his own Son, yea, his only begotten Son, to the end that we being reconciled through his blood, might be made partakers of his everlasting glory.
- 1 John 4:8 In that he called God, Love he saith more than if he had said that he loveth us infinitely.
