In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 1 When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Saviour appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy. 2
God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 3
See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. 4 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. 5
I will recount the steadfast love of the LORD, 6 who establishes us in Christ, 7 who daily bears us up, 8 who comforts us in all our affliction, 9 who richly provides us with everything to enjoy, 10 who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 11
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. 12
