1 John 4:201John.4.20

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

KJV

Greek original

Translations

Louis Segond 1910

Si quelqu'un dit: J'aime Dieu, et qu'il haïsse son frère, c'est un menteur; car celui qui n'aime pas son frère qu'il voit, comment peut-il aimer Dieu qu'il ne voit pas?

KJV

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
