I don't think this sentence is accurate. Yes you can love someone that you don't respect. Jesus love is a love that goes beyond being earned. He loves us when we are disrespectful to Him by living a sinful life. I know a few people that I don't respect or trust that much, yet I love them enough to pray for them and to be committed to seeing them saved. The kind of Love Jesus expects us to show is the Corinthians Love Chapter kind of love. Love that turns the other cheek, love that humbles us, love that makes us act as a servant.
You can be act and respond respectfully to those that have not earned respect by their own deeds and words.
