Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

World English Bible (WEB)
He that loveth{G25}{(G5723)} not{G3361} knoweth{G1097}{(G5627)} not{G3756} God{G2316}; for{G3754} God{G2316} is{G2076}{(G5748)} love{G26}.
Strong's King James
The one who does not continue loving (agape) does not know the Elohim, because the Elohim is true love (agape).
The F.O.G*

he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.
