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.

1 John 4:20-5:1
New Living Translation

20 If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer,[a] that person is a liar; for if we don’t love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see? 21 And he has given us this command: Those who love God must also love their fellow believers.[b]

Faith in the Son of God

5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ[c] has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too.
