Letter of John 4: 7-16

4:7 Paling dicintai, let us love one another. For love is of God. And everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

4:8 Whoever does not love, does not know God. For God is love.

4:9 The love of God was made apparent to us in this way: that God sent his only-begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through him.

4:10 In this is love: not as if we had loved God, but that he first loved us, and so he sent his Son as a propitiation for our sins.

4:11 Paling dicintai, jika Tuhan begitu mengasihi kita, kita juga harus saling mengasihi.

4:12 Tidak ada yang pernah melihat Tuhan. Tapi jika kita saling mencintai, Tuhan tinggal di dalam kita, dan kasih-Nya disempurnakan di dalam kita.

4:13 Lewat sini, kita tahu bahwa kita tinggal di dalam Dia, dan dia di dalam kita: karena dia telah memberi kita dari Roh-Nya.

4:14 Dan kami telah melihat, dan kami bersaksi, bahwa Bapa telah mengutus Putranya untuk menjadi Juruselamat dunia.

4:15 Siapa pun yang mengaku bahwa Yesus adalah Anak Allah, Tuhan tinggal di dalam dirinya, dan dia di dalam Tuhan.

4:16 Dan kita telah mengetahui dan percaya akan kasih yang Allah miliki bagi kita. Tuhan adalah cinta. Dan dia yang tinggal di dalam cinta, abides in God, dan Tuhan dalam dirinya.

Injil

Matius 11: 25-30

11:25 Pada waktu itu, Jesus responded and said: “I acknowledge you, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones.

11:26 Ya, Father, for this was pleasing before you.

11:27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.

11:28 Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you.

11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.

11:30 For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light.”
