1 John 4:11-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)
“11 Dear friends, if ‘God’ [ha-‘Elohiym: the-Magistrates, the-Great, etc..] ‘loved’ [racham: (had) compassion (with), (had) mercy (with), etc..[ us in this way, we also must ‘love’ [racham: (have) compassion (for), (have) mercy (for), etc..] one another. 12 No one has ever seen ‘God’ [‘Elohiym].[a]
If we ‘love’ [racham: (have) compassion (for)] one another, ‘God’ [‘Elohiym] remains in[b] us and ‘His’ [ha-Ga’al’s: the-Redeemer’s, the-Deliverer’s, etc..] ‘love’ [compassion] is perfected in us.”
