1 John 4:9-14 By this the love of God was manifested to us, that God sent forth his Son, the only begotten, into the world, that we might live through him.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ By this the love of God was manifested to us, that God sent forth his Son, the only begotten, into the world, that we might live through him. ¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent forth his Son to be a propitiation for our sins. ¹¹ Beloved, if God so loved us, we, also, ought to love one another. ¹² No one has seen God, at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is made perfect in us. ¹³ By this, we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. ¹⁴ Now we have seen, and bear testimony, that the Father has sent forth his Son, to be the Saviour of the world.
