1 John 3:11-18

« 1 John 21 John 31 John 4 »

11 ^aFor this is the message ^bwhich you have heard from the beginning, ^cthat we should love one another; 12 not as ^aCain, who was of ^bthe evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because ^chis deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
13 Do not marvel, brothers, if ^athe world hates you. 14 We know that we have ^apassed out of death into life, ^bbecause we love the brothers. The one who does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who ^ahates his brother is a murderer, and you know that ^bno murderer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 By this we have known love, that ^aHe laid down His life for us; and ^bwe ought to lay down our lives for the ^cbrothers. 17 But ^awhoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and ^bcloses his ¹heart ²against him, ^chow does the love of God abide in him? 18 ^aLittle children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and ^btruth.
