1 John 4:21

God's Love Revealed

²⁰ If anyone declares, 'I love God,' and yet hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who will not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot possibly love the God whom he has never seen. ²¹ And we get this command from him, that he who loves God is to love his brother as well.
