19. We love because God first loved us.
20. If we say we love God, but hate our brothers and sisters, we are liars. For people cannot love God, whom they have not seen, if they do not love their brothers and sisters, whom they have seen.
21. The command that Christ has given us is this: all who love God must love their brother or sister also.
