1 John 4:7-12
A reading from the first Letter of Saint John
Beloved, let us love one another,
because love is of God;
everyone who
loves is begotten by God and knows God.
Whoever is without love does not
know God, for God is love.
In this way the love of God was revealed to
us:
God sent his only-begotten Son into the world
so that we might have
life through him.
In this is love:
not that we have loved God, but that
he loved us
and sent his Son as expiation for our sins.
Beloved, if God so loved us,
we also must love one another.
No one has ever seen God.
Yet, if we love one another, God remains in
us,
and his love is brought to perfection in us.
The word of the Lord.
