God is Love (1 Jn 4:7-10)
The Latin:
Caríssimi, diligámus nos ínvicem : quia cáritas ex Deo est. Et omnis qui díligit, ex Deo natus est, et cognóscit Deum. Qui non díligit, non novit Deum : quóniam Deus cáritas est. In hoc appáruit cáritas Dei in nobis, quóniam Fílium suum unigénitum misit Deus in mundum, ut vivámus per eum. In hoc est cáritas : non quasi nos dilexérimus Deum, sed quóniam ipse prior diléxit nos, et misit Fílium suum propitiatiónem pro peccátis nostris.
The English:
Dearly 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. By this hath the charity of God appeared towards us, because God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we may live by him. In this is charity: not as though we had loved God, but because he hath first loved us, and sent his Son to be a propitiation for our sins.
