The Relationship Between God's Love for Man and the Love of Men in the Fourth Gospel

An examination of the uses of these two words in the fourth gospel seems to indicate a general interchangeability between the two emphasis added on general. Both terms are used of God's love for man. You see both terms in the father's love for the son as in Jesus in three 35 and 520. The love of men for other men in 1334 and 1519. And then theLove of men for Jesus in 842 and 1627. Obviously, this is all in the footnote. So if anyone wants to like open up all of these passages and dig into this deeper, check out the footnote. All those references will be there.
