8 But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us while we were still sinners.
19 We love because God first loved us.
15 Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God–God continues in union with him, and he continues in union with God.
16 And, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him.
10 This is love indeed–we did not love God, but He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the intense love which He bestowed on us,
5 caused us, dead though we were through our offences, to live with Christ –it is by grace that you have been saved–
11 Finally, brethren, be joyful, secure perfection of character, take courage, be of one mind, live in peace. And then God who gives love and peace will be with you.
16 For so greatly did God love the world that He gave His only Son, that every one who trusts in Him may not perish but may have the Life of Ages.
7 Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God.
8 He who is destitute of love has never had any knowledge of God; because God is love.
