Read 1 John 4:7-8 in the NABRE onlineDearly beloved, let us love one another, for charity is of God. And every one that loveth, is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God: for God is charity.
Reflection
Love is of God — it comes from him and leads back to him. To love is to have been born of God; to not love is to not know God, because God is love. The knowledge and the practice are inseparable.
