Not Loving One Another As He Commanded Proves That We Do Not Love God

20 If someone claims that “I love God” and is hating his brother, he is a liar. For the one not loving his brother whom he has seen cannot be loving God Whom he has not seen. 21 And we have this commandment from Him: that the one loving God should be loving his brother also.

Everyone Born of God Believes Jesus Is His Son, Loves His People, Keeps His Commands

Everyone believing that Jesus is the Christ has been born[a] from God. And everyone loving the One[b] having fathered is loving also the one having been born[c] from Him.
