The Amplified Bible

If anyone says, I love God, and hates (detests, abominates) his brother [in Christ], he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God, Whom he has not seen.
Wuest’s Expanded Translation

If anyone says, I am constantly loving God, and is as constantly hating his brother [Christian] whom he has seen with discernment and at present has with the range of his vision, God whom he has not seen with discernment and at present does not have within the range of his vision he is not able to be loving.

If a man says, “I love God” and hates his brother, he is a liar. For if he does not love the brother before his eyes how can he love the One beyond his sight?
