7 My loved ones, let us have love for one another: because love is of God, and everyone who has love is a child of God and has knowledge of God.

8 He who has no love has no knowledge of God, because God is love.

7 E nga hoa aroha, kia aroha tatou tetahi ki tetahi: no te Atua hoki te aroha; ko te hunga katoa hoki e aroha ana, kua whanau i te Atua, e matau ana hoki ki te Atua.

8 Ko te tangata kahore e aroha, kahore ia e matau ki te Atua; he aroha hoki te Atua.
