1 John 4:8 ASV

⁶  We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he who is not of God heareth us not. By this we know the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

⁷  Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.

⁸  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

⁹  Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath 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 `to be' the propitiation for our sins.
