1 John 4:19-21

New Living Translation

¹⁹ We love each other^[a] because he loved us first.

²⁰ If someone says, “I love God,” but hates a fellow believer,^[b] 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.^[c]
