New King James Version
13 Do not marvel, my brethren, if (A)the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love [a]his brother abides in death. 15 (B)Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that (C)no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
The Outworking of Love
16 (D)By this we know love, (E)because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
