For while we were still helpless, at the right time, Christ died for the ungodly.For rarely will someone die for a just person— though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Dear friends, let us love one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.The one who does not love does not know God, because God is love.God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him.Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.Dear friends, if God loved us in this way, we also must love one another.
