1 John 3:13-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ Wonder not, brethren, if the world hate you.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not, abideth in death.

¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself.

¹⁶ In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁷ He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide in him?

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, nor in tongue, but in deed, and in truth.
