Joh. Beloved, let us love one another, for love cometh of God:1 and every one that loveth is borne of God, and knoweth God: [by a special knowledge, whereby they are assured that God the father of Christ is their father: Christ their Redeemer: the holy Ghost their sanctifier.] He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is love,2 [i. wholly bent to show his love and compassion to his people.] ⟨p. 692⟩3[For a proof of this,] herein was that love of God made manifest among us, because God sent that his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 4Herein is that love, not that we loved God; but that he loved us: and sent his Son to be a reconciliation for our sins.
