1 John 4:7
1 John 4:7 New Living Translation (NLT)
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7-10 The Message (MSG)
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him. This is the kind of love we are talking about—not that we once upon a time loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they’ve done to our relationship with God.
1 John 4:7 King James Version (KJV)
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
1 John 4:7 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7 New Century Version (NCV)
Dear friends, we should love each other, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has become God’s child and knows God.
1 John 4:7 American Standard Version (ASV)
Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.
1 John 4:7 New International Version (NIV)
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7 New King James Version (NKJV)
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
1 John 4:7 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Beloved, let us [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience].
1 John 4:7 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Those who are loved by God, let his love continually pour from you to one another, because God is love. Everyone who loves is fathered by God and experiences an intimate knowledge of him.
