Deus é amor
Deus é amor — esta é a declaração mais profunda da Bíblia sobre a natureza divina. Tudo que Deus faz nasce do amor. Quem permanece no amor permanece em Deus.
A natureza de Deus
Deus é amor. Quem permanece no amor, permanece em Deus e Deus nele. Ele nos amou primeiro com amor eterno.
We must love each other. God shows us what real love is.
Dear friends, we must love each other, because God enables us to love each other, and because those who love their fellow believers have become God’s children and ◄know/have a close relationship with► him. God’s nature is to love all people. So those who do not love their fellow believers do not ◄know/have a relationship with► God.
And God has shown us what it means to love another person: It does not mean that we loved God, but it means that God loved us and sent ◄his Son/the one who was also God► to sacrifice his life in order that our sins might be forgiven {he might forgive our sins}.
So those who affirm/say that Jesus is the ◄Son of/one who is also► God, God is within them, and they have a close relationship with God. We have experienced how God loves us and we believe that he loves us. As a result, we love others. Because God’s nature is to love people, those who continue to love others have a close relationship with God, and God has a close relationship with them.
We love God and our fellow believers because God loved us first.
God sent his Son into the world to save everyone who trusts in him.
God loved us people [MTY] in the world so much that he gave his only Son as a sacrifice for us, in order that everyone who believes in him would not be separated from God forever. Instead, they would have eternal life.
O amor de Deus revelado
Deus prova o seu amor em que Cristo morreu por nós quando ainda éramos pecadores. Seu amor é compassivo e eterno.
Nevertheless, as for God, the way he showed us that he loves us is that Christ died on our behalf while we were still rebelling against God.
But God always acts very mercifully, and he loves us very much. As a result, even when we were ◄spiritually dead/as unable to please God as a corpse [MET] is► because we were habitually sinning, he enabled us to receive spiritual/eternal life because of our relationship with Christ. Do not forget this: It is only because God has acted so kindly toward you, in a way that you did not deserve, that you are saved {that he saved you} from the guilt of your sin
But Lord, you always are mercifully and kind;
you do not become angry quickly,
you faithfully love us very much
and always do for us what you have promised to do.
God, your faithful love for us is very precious.
You protect us like birds protect their baby birds under their wings [MET].
Your constantly loving me is ◄worth more/more precious► than my life,
so I [MTY] will always praise you.
Thank Yahweh, because he does good things for us;
his faithful love for us endures forever.
Yahweh, there is no [RHQ] God like you;
you forgive the sins [DOU] that were committed by the people who have survived,
the people who belong to you.
You do not remain angry forever;
you are very happy to show us that you faithfully love us.
I finish my letter with some advice. All of us here send you our greetings, and I pray that God will bless you.
Finally, my fellow believers, I say to you, be joyful. Completely change how you conduct your lives, and do what I have urged you to do. Be united in what you think about the matters about which I have written to you. Live peacefully with each other. If you do those things, God, who enables you to love each other and be peaceful, will bless [MTY] you.
