1 John 3:15-17
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
15 Anyone who hates (abominates, detests) his brother [in Christ] is [at heart] a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding ([a]persevering) within him.
16 By this we come to know (progressively to recognize, to perceive, to understand) the [essential] love: that He laid down His [own] life for us; and we ought to lay [our] lives down for [those who are our] brothers [[b]in Him].
17 But if anyone has this world’s goods (resources for sustaining life) and sees his brother and [c]fellow believer in need, yet closes his heart of compassion against him, how can the love of God live and remain in him?
