{{quote5 |내용= Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because '''God is love'''. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, '''we also ought to love one another'''. |출처= [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+John%2004&version=NIV 1 John 4:7-11]}}
