1 JOHN 4:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 2

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.”

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God — love (agapē) originates in God's nature; its practice indicates new birth (gennao) and knowledge (ginōskō) of the divine. The imperative (agapōmen allelous) flows from theological reality: love is God's character made visible.
