Refrain:
All God’s love was revealed among us
so that we might live through Jesus.
1 Beloved, let us love one another,
for love is of God; ♦
everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
2 Whoever does not love does not know God, ♦
for God is love.
3 In this the love of God was revealed among us, ♦
that God sent his only Son into the world,
so that we might live through him.
4 In this is love,
not that we loved God but that he loved us, ♦
and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins.
5 Beloved, since God loved us so much, ♦
we ought also to love one another.
6 For if we love one another, God abides in us, ♦
and God’s love will be perfected in us.
1 John 4.7-11,12b
All Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.
All God’s love was revealed among us
so that we might live through Jesus.
