1 John 4:21

God's Love Revealed

²⁰ If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen? ²¹ And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother.
