And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.
THIS is a commandment: NOT a suggestion and it is FROM GOD THE SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF!
What is the COMMANDMENT?
That HE who LOVES GOD is to also LOVE HIS BROTHER!!!!!
I did not read or note any exceptions to this commandment..... Which is why the verse preceding this one is an impossibility!!!!!
Here are some additional references that further emphasize this commandment!
see ( John 13:34 ) ( John 15:12 John 15:17 )
