Deus é amor

God’s Love Revealed

7 Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

10 In this is love: not that we have loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation* for our sins.

15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God resides in him and he in God. 16 And we have come to know and have believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and the one who resides in love resides in God, and God resides in him.

19 We love, because he first loved us.

God’s Love for the World

16 For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life.

8 but God demonstrates his own love for us, in that while* we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, 5 and we being dead in trespasses, he made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved),

15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,

slow to anger* and abundant in loyal love and faithfulness.

7 How precious is your loyal love, O God,

and the children of humankind

take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

3 Because your loyal love is better than life,

my lips will praise you.

Praise to God for His Creation and Deliverance

1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,

for his loyal love endures forever.

18 Who is a God like you, forgiving sin

and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance?

He does not retain his anger forever,

for he delights in loyal love.

Final Greetings and Benediction

11 Finally, brothers, rejoice, be restored, be encouraged, be in agreement*, be at peace, and the God of love and peace will be with you.
