1 John 3:14-16
EasyEnglish Bible
14 We know that we now have new life with God. Death no longer has power over us. We know this because we love our Christian friends. But anyone who does not love other believers is still under the power of death. 15 Anyone who hates other believers is like someone who murders other people. You know that a person like that does not have true life with God.
16 This is how we know what true love is: Jesus Christ gave his own life on the cross. He died on our behalf. So we too ought to give our lives for other believers.

1 John 3:14-16
King James Version
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1 Johannes 3:14-16
Schlachter 1951
14 Wir wissen, daß wir aus dem Tode zum Leben gelangt sind; denn wir lieben die Brüder. Wer nicht liebt, bleibt im Tode. 15 Jeder, der seinen Bruder haßt, ist ein Totschläger; und ihr wisset, daß kein Totschläger ewiges Leben bleibend in sich hat.
16 Daran haben wir die Liebe erkannt, daß er sein Leben für uns eingesetzt hat; auch wir sind schuldig, für die Brüder das Leben einzusetzen.
