1 John 4:16

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him.
World English Bible (WEB)
And{G2532} we{G2249} have known{G1097}{(G5758)} and{G2532} believed{G4100}{(G5758)} the love{G26} that{G3739} God{G2316} hath{G2192}{(G5719)} to{G1722} us{G2254}. God{G2316} is{G2076}{(G5748)} love{G26}; and{G2532} he that dwelleth{G3306}{(G5723)} in{G1722} love{G26} dwelleth{G3306}{(G5719)} in{G1722} God{G2316}, and{G2532} God{G2316} in{G1722} him{G846}.
Strong's King James
We have come to fully know and believe the love (agape) which the Elohim has in us. The Elohim is love (agape), and the one remaining in love (agape) remains in the Elohim, and the Elohim remains in him.
The F.O.G*
[16] We have come to know and trust the love that God has for us. God is love, and everyone who lives in love lives in God, and God lives in them. It's like being immersed in an ocean of divine love!And we have come to intimately know and believe in the extravagant love that Yahweh has for us and within us. Yahweh is true love, and whoever continues to abide in true love abides in Yahweh, and Yahweh abides in him.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and we—we have known and believed the love, that God hath in us; God is love, and he who is remaining in the love, in God he doth remain, and God in him.
Young's Literal Translation
