The First Letter of Saint John   4: 19-5:4

4:19 Therefore, let us love God, for God first loved us.
4:20 If anyone says that he loves God, but hates his brother, then he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother, whom he does see, in what way can he love God, whom he does not see?
4:21 And this is the commandment that we have from God, that he who loves God must also love his brother.
5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, is born of God. And everyone who loves God, who provides that birth, also loves him who has been born of God.
5:2 In this way, we know that we love those born of God: when we love God and do his commandments.
5:3 For this is the love of God: that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not heavy.
5:4 For all that is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world: our faith.
