1 John 4:21

God's Love Revealed

²⁰ If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love. ²¹ And we have this precept from him, that the one loving God with divine love also loves his brother with divine love.
