“Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.” 1 John 4:7-8 (CSB)
“And we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and the one who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. In this, love is made complete with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, because as he is, so also are we in this world. There is no fear in love; instead, perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. So the one who fears is not complete in love.” 1 John 4:16-18 (CSB)
“Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice, for our sins.” 1 John 4:10 (CSB)
“Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.” 1 John 4:11 (CSB)
