1 John 4:21

And this commandment we have received from him, That every one who loveth Aloha shall love also his brother.

The Peschito Syriac New Testament: Translated into English by John Wesley Etheridge

In The King James Version

And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

In Context

20But if one shall say, I love Aloha, and his brother he hateth, he is a liar. For he who his brother whom he hath seen loveth not, how can he love Aloha himself whom he hath not seen?
