1 John 4

10 Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us  * 4:10 Jn 3:16 and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice  * 4:10 Or the propitiation,* 4:10 2Co 5:21; 1Jn 2:2 for our sins. 11 Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.  * 4:11 Jn 13:14; 15:12; Rm 13:8; 1Th 4:9; 1Pt 1:2212 No one has ever seen God.  * 4:12 Ex 33:20 If we love one another, God remains in  * 4:12 Or remains among us and his love is made complete in us.
