7 Dear friends, let’s go on loving one another, for love comes from God. All those who love are born of God and know God. 8 Those who don’t love don’t know God, for God is love.

10 This is love! It’s not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and he sent his Son to be the means by which our sins are forgiven.

15 God lives in everyone who declares that Jesus is the Son of God, and they live in God. 16 We have experienced and trusted in the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who live in love, live in God, and God lives in them.

19 We love because he loved us first.

16 For God loved the world, and this is how:* he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who trusts in him shouldn’t die, but have eternal life.

8 But God demonstrates his love for us in that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.

4 But God in his generous mercy, because of the amazing love he had for us 5 even while we were dead in our sins, has made us alive together with Christ. Trusting in him has saved you!

15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and faithfulness.

7 God, how priceless is your trustworthy love! Everyone can find protection under the shelter of your wings.

3 Your trustworthy love is better than life itself; I will praise you.

1 Thank the Lord, because he is good! For his trustworthy love lasts forever.

18 Who is a God like you who forgives sin and passes over the rebellion of those who are left of his special people? You do not remain angry forever because you delight in showing faithful love.

11 Finally, brothers and sisters, I say goodbye. Continue to improve spiritually. Encourage one another. Be in agreement. Live in peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
