1 JOHN 4:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.”
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another — the conditional (ei) rests on the reality of God's love, established in 4:9-10. The obligation (opheilo) follows logically: divine love demands human love. The pattern of God's love becomes the measure of believers' love.
