1 John 4:12 in Context — 1 John 4

10 En esto consiste el amor: no que nosotros hayamos amado á Dios, sino que él nos amó á nosotros, y ha enviado á su Hijo [en] propiciación por nuestros pecados.

11 Amados, si Dios así nos ha amado, debemos también nosotros amarnos unos á otros.

12 Ninguno vió jamás á Dios. Si nos amamos unos á otros, Dios está en nosotros, y su amor es perfecto en nosotros:

13 En esto conocemos que estamos en él, y él en nosotros, en que nos ha dado de su Espíritu.

14 Y nosotros hemos visto y testificamos que el Padre ha enviado al Hijo [para ser] Salvador del mundo.
