1 John 4:9-14 In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ In this the divine love of God has been made manifest in us, because God has sent his only begotten Son into the world that we may live through him. 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. ¹³ In this we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his spirit. ¹⁴ And we have seen and we testify that the Father has sent forth his Son the Saviour of the world.
