1 JOHN 5:3 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome — the love of God (agapē tou theos) manifests itself in commandment-keeping. The negation (ou bareiai) asserts that God's demands are not oppressive. Love transforms obligation into joy.
