NASB | 1 John 4:8 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 4:8 The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] |
Subject: Does God love everything? |
Bible Note: Makarios, this is very well expressed regarding satan and his lovelessness. Because God is love, God loves though that love is unrequited. And because the heart of God's law is love, then this love also condemns. (Hank's point, I believe). Colin |
