9 Herein as to us has been manifested the love of God, that God has 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 a propitiation for our sins.

9 Ved dette er Guds kjærlighet åpenbaret iblandt oss at Gud har sendt sin Sønn, den enbårne, til verden, forat vi skal leve ved ham.

10 I dette er kjærligheten, ikke at vi har elsket Gud, men at han har elsket oss og sendt sin Sønn til soning for våre synder.
