​In this is love, not that we loved God, 

but that He loved us and sent His Son 

to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, 

if God so loved us, 

we also ought to love one another. 

No one has seen God at any time. 

If we love one another, God abides in us, 

and His love has been perfected in us.

​

​​​不是我們愛　神，乃是　神愛我們，

差他的兒子為我們的罪作了挽回祭，

這就是愛了。親愛的弟兄呀，　

神既是這樣愛我們，我們也當彼此相愛。

從來沒有人見過　神，我們若彼此相愛，　神就住在我們裡面，

愛他的心在我們裡面得以完全了。
