8 Whoever loves not, knows not Elohim; because Elohim is love.
9 In this the love of Elohim manifests in us, because Elohim apostolized his only birthed Son into the cosmos - that we, through him, live.
10 In this is the love - not that we loved Elohim, but that he loved us and apostolized his Son, a kopur/an atonement for our sins.
11 Beloved, if Elohim loved us thus, we also are indebted to love one another.
12 No one ever observed Elohim - not ever. Whenever we love one another, Elohim abides in us and his love is completed/shalamed in us.
13 In this we know that we abide in him and he in us: because he gave us of his Spirit.
14 and we observed and witness that the Father apostolized the Son - Saviour of the cosmos.
15 Whoever professes that Yah Shua is the Son of Elohim, Elohim abides in him, and he in Elohim.
16 And we - we know and trust the love Elohim has in us. Elohim is love; and whoever abides in love abides in Elohim - and Elohim in him.
