For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.For one will hardly die for a righteous person; though perhaps for the good person someone would even dare to die.But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Beloved, let’s love one another; for 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.By this the love of God was revealed in us, that God has sent His only Son into the world so that we may live through Him.In this 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.
