1 John 3:11-18

Darby Translation

¹¹ For this is the message which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:

¹² not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous.

¹³ Do not wonder, brethren, if the world hate you.

¹⁴ *We* know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love [his] brother abides in death.

¹⁵ Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

¹⁶ Hereby we have known love, because *he* has laid down his life for us; and *we* ought for the brethren to lay down [our] lives.

¹⁷ But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him?

¹⁸ Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth.
