1 John 4:8 - Forerunner Commentary

1 John 4:8

6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. ^aBy this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

7 ^aBeloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who ^bloves is born of God and knows God.

8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

9 ^aIn this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten ^bSon into the world, that we might live through Him.

10 In this is love, ^anot that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son ^bto be the propitiation for our sins.
