²⁰If people say, “I love God,” but hate their brothers or sisters, they are liars. Those who do not love their brothers and sisters, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have never seen. ²¹And God gave us this command: Those who love God must also love their brothers and sisters.

Faith in the Son of God

5Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is God’s child, and whoever loves the Father also loves the Father’s children. ²This is how we know we love God’s children: when we love God and obey his commands. ³Loving God means obeying his commands. And God’s commands are not too hard for us, ⁴because everyone who is a child of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world—our faith. ⁵So the one who conquers the world is the person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

Read in Logos

1 John 5:4: For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.
