American Standard Version
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, [a]cannot love God whom he hath not seen. 21 And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God love his brother also.
5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is begotten of God: and whosoever loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
