1 John 4:7-12

Murdock(i) 7 My beloved, let us love one another: because love is from God; and whoever loveth, is born of God and knoweth God. 8 Because God is love; and whoever loveth not, doth not know God. 9 By this was the love of God towards us made known, because God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, that we by him might live. 10 In this is love; it was not that we loved God, but that God loved us, and sent his Son a propitiation for our sins. 11 My beloved, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one hath ever seen God; but if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
