Here, you are touching on that biblical paradox that must never be mentioned: Is God love or does God put people in hell (the ULTIMATE act of hatred)?
If you say, "both" then you do not have the same definition of love given in 1 Corinthians 13. There may be some passages in the bible that support your claim (surprise surprise) but 2 Corinthians 6:14-16 isn't one of them:
[14]Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
[15]And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
[16]And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
