1 John 2:4

Context
2:4 The one who says “I have come to know God”¹ and yet does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in such a person.

1 John 4:20

Context

4:20 If anyone says² “I love God” and yet³ hates his fellow Christian,⁴ he is a liar, because the one who does not love his fellow Christian⁵ whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.⁶

¹tn Grk “know him.” See the note on the phrase “know God” in 1 John 2:3 for explanation.

²tn Grk “if anyone should say…”

³tn “Yet” is supplied to bring out the contrast.

⁴tn See note on the phrase “fellow Christian” in 2:9.

⁵tn See note on the phrase “fellow Christian” in 2:9.

⁶sn In 4:20 the author again describes the opponents, who claim to love God. Their failure to show love for their fellow Christians proves their claim to know God to be false: The one who does not love his fellow Christian whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen.
