1 JOHN 4:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins — love's definition is reversed: not human love seeking God but God's love seeking humanity. The propitiation (hilasmos) addresses sins through Christ's sacrifice. God's priority in love precedes and enables human love-response.
