7 Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for 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.
