1 John 4:6-9 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. We are from God. The one who knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deceit.

7. Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been fathered by God and knows God.

8. The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

9. By this the love of God is revealed in us: that God sent his one and only Son into the world in order that we may live through him.
