13.07. 1 Joh 4:10

1 John 4:10  Siinä on rakkaus – ei siinä, että me olemme rakastaneet Jumalaa, vaan siinä, että hän on rakastanut meitä ja lähettänyt Poikansa meidän syntiemme sovitukseksi.

1 John 4:10Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
¹⁰ In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.

1 John 4:10Amplified Bible (AMP)
¹⁰ In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath].

John 4:10The Message (MSG)
God Is Love
^7-10 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 4:10Living Bible (TLB)
¹⁰ In this act we see what real love is: it is not our love for God but his love for us when he sent his Son to satisfy God’s anger against our sins.
