1 John 4:20-5:1
World English Bible

20 If a man says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who doesn’t love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 21 This commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should also love his brother.

5 Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God. Whoever loves the Father also loves the child who is born of him.
