1 John 4:20-21
1599 Geneva Bible
20 [a]If any man say, I love God, and hate his brother, he is a liar: [b]for how can he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, love God whom he hath not seen?
21 (A)[c]And this commandment have we of him, that he that loveth God, should love his brother also.

- 1 John 4:20 As he showed that the love of our neighbor cannot be separate from the love wherewith God loveth us, because this last engendereth the other: so he denieth that the other kind of love wherewith we love God, can be separate from the love of our neighbor: whereof it followeth, that they lie impudently which say they worship God, and yet regard not their neighbor.
- 1 John 4:20 The first reason taken of comparison, why we cannot hate our neighbor and love God, to wit, because that he that cannot love his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God whom he seeth not?
- 1 John 4:21 A second reason, why God cannot be hated and our neighbor loved, because the selfsame Lawmaker commanded both to love him and our neighbor.
