1 John 4:10 Context
8Hee that loueth not, knoweth not God: for God is loue. 9In this was manifested the loue of God towards vs, because that God sent his only begotten Sonne into the world, that we might liue through him. 10Herein is loue, not that wee loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his Sonne to be þe propitiation for our sins. 11Beloued, if God so loued vs, wee ought also to loue one another. 12No man hath seene God at any time. If wee loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfected in vs.
