1 Yohana 4:20
1 John 4:20 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Ikiwa mtu atasema, “Nampenda Mungu,” lakini anamchukia ndugu yake, yeye ni mwongo. Kwa maana kila mtu asiyempenda ndugu yake ambaye anamwona, atampendaje Mungu asiyemuona?
1 John 4:20 in English
1 John 4:20 · Berean Standard Bible
If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
Context
18Katika pendo hakuna hofu. Lakini pendo lililo kamili huitupa nje hofu, kwa sababu hofu inahusika na adhabu. Kila mwenye hofu hakukamilika katika pendo. 19Twampenda yeye kwa sababu yeye alitupenda kwanza. 20Ikiwa mtu atasema, “Nampenda Mungu,” lakini anamchukia ndugu yake, yeye ni mwongo. Kwa maana kila mtu asiyempenda ndugu yake ambaye anamwona, atampendaje Mungu asiyemuona? 21Naye ametupa amri hii: Yeyote anayempenda Mungu lazima pia ampende ndugu yake.
