7 Dearly beloved, let us love one another: for charity is of God. And every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God: for God is charity.
9 By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him.
10 In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
11 My dearest, if God hath so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
