10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the ^apropitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to ^blove one another.

16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

19 We love because he first loved us.
