Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Y este mandamiento tenemos de él - Es decir, la orden de amar a un hermano es tan obligatoria como amar a Dios. Si uno es obedecido, el otro también debería serlo; si un hombre siente que uno lo ata, debería sentir que el otro también lo está; y él nunca puede tener evidencia de que es un verdadero cristiano, a menos que manifieste amor a sus hermanos y también a Dios. Vea las notas en Santiago 2:1.

Que el que ama a Dios también ama a su hermano - Vea las notas en Juan 13:34. Compare Juan 15:12, Juan 15:17.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verso 1 Juan 4:21 . Este mandamiento tenemos : Que nos amemos los unos a los otros, y que amemos a nuestro prójimo como a nosotros mismos. El amor de Dios y el amor del hombre nunca pueden separarse; el que ama a Dios amará a su hermano; el que ama a su hermano da esta prueba de que ama a Dios, porque ama con una medida de ese amor que, en su infinitud, mora en Dios.
