*1.* “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” *2.* “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.” *3.* “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” *4.* “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”
