1 John 4:20-5:1
Christian Standard Bible
20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and yet hates his brother or sister,(A) he is a liar.(B) For the person who does not love his brother or sister(C) whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.[a] 21 And we have this command from him: The one who loves God must also love his brother and sister.
5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God,(D) and everyone who loves the Father[b] also loves the one born of him.
1 John 4:20-5:1
Lexham English Bible
20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar, for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen is not able to love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this is the commandment we have from him: that the one who loves God should love his brother also.
5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been fathered by God, and everyone who loves the father[a] also loves the child fathered by him.
