1 JOHN 4:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him — the experiential knowledge (ginōskō) and faith (pisteuō) in God's love constitute authentic spirituality. The reiteration of God's love-essence grounds practical ethics. Abiding in love becomes identical with abiding in God.
