1 John 4:20-5:1 If anyone says, "I love God," and yet habitually hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.

Williams⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁰ If anyone says, "I love God," and yet habitually hates his brother, he is a liar; for whoever does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. ²¹ This is the command that we get from Him, that whoever loves God loves his brother too. ⁵ ¹ Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves His child.
