1 John 4:8-10
-
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
-
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
-
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
