1 John 4:10

God's Love Revealed

⁹ By this was the love of God manifested to us, that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might have life by him. ¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiatory sacrifice for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
