²⁰if any one may say—‘I love God,’ and his brother he may hate, a liar he is; for he who is not loving his brother whom he hath seen, God—whom he hath not seen—how is he able to love? ²¹and this is the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

Chapter 5

¹Every one who is believing that Jesus is the Christ, of God he hath been begotten, and every one who is loving Him who did beget, doth love also him who is begotten of Him: ²in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep; ³for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome; ⁴because every one who is begotten of God doth overcome the world, and this is the victory that did overcome the world—our faith; ⁵who is he who is overcoming the world, if not he who is believing 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.
