1 John 4:8 says whoever does not love does not know God, because God is what?

Answer: Love

Love comes from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God; whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

“Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.”— 1 John 4:7-8 (BSB)
