I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they lived as aliens. Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD< and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

But it was because the LORD loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

English Standard Version (ESV)
God Is Love
7Beloved,(A) let us love one another, for love is from God, and(B) whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8(C) Anyone who does not love does not know God, because(D)God is love. 9In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that(E) God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10In this is love,(F) not that we have loved God(G) but that he loved us and sent his Son to be(H) the propitiation for our sins.11Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12(I) No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and(J) his love is perfected in us. 13(K) By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.14And(L) we have seen and testify that(M) the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of(N) the world. 15(O) Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16So(P) we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us.(Q) God is love, and(R) whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17By this(S) is love perfected with us, so that(T) we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because(U) as he is so also are we in this world. 18There is no fear in love, but(V) perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not(W) been perfected in love. 19(X)We love because he first loved us. 20(Y) If anyone says, “I love God,” and(Z) hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot[a] love God(AA)whom he has not seen. 21And(AB) this commandment we have from him:(AC) whoever loves God must also love his brother.
