1 John 4:9 YLT

⁷  Beloved, may we love one another, because the love is of God, and every one who is loving, of God he hath been begotten, and doth know God;

⁸  he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

⁹  In this was manifested the love of God in us, because His Son -- the only begotten -- hath God sent to the world, that we may live through him;

¹⁰  in this is the love, not that we loved God, but that He did love us, and did send His Son a propitiation for our sins.

¹¹  Beloved, if thus did God love us, we also ought one another to love;
