1 John 4:12

¹⁰ And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

¹³ By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.

¹⁴ And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.
