"Therefore, let us love God, for God first loved us. "
— 1 John 4:19, Catholic Public Domain Version
“We love him, because he first loved us.”
“We love, because he first loved us. ”
“We love him, because he first loved us.”
“We love because he loved us first.”
“Let us therefore love God: because God first hath loved us.”
“We have the power of loving, because he first had love for us.”
“We love him, because he first loved us.”
And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love. And he who abides in love, abides in God, and God in him.
In this way, the love of God is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment. For as he is, so also are we, in this world.
Fear is not in love. Instead, perfect love casts out fear, for fear pertains to punishment. And whoever fears is not perfected in love.
Therefore, let us love God, for God first loved us.
If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?
And this is the commandment that we have from God, that he who loves God must also love his brother.
