For while we were yet weak, in due season Christ died for the ungodly.For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: for peradventure for the good man some one would even dare to die.But God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
