1 John 3:11-14

Contemporary English Version

Love Each Other

^11 (A) From the beginning you were told we must love each other. ^12 (B) Don't be like Cain, who belonged to the devil and murdered his own brother. Why did he murder him? He did it because his brother was good, and he was evil. ¹³ My friends, don't be surprised if the people of this world hate you. ^14 (C) Our love for each other proves we have gone from death to life. But if you don't love each other, you are still under the power of death.
