God's Love Revealed
10 In him is divine love, not because we loved God with divine love, but because he loved us with divine love, and sent his Son an expiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us with divine love, we ought also to love one another with divine love. 12 No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another with divine love, God abides in us, and his divine love has been made perfect in us.
