1 John 3:12-20
English Standard Version
12 We should not be like (A)Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? (B)Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers,[a] (C)that the world hates you. 14 We know that (D)we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 (E)Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that (F)no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that (G)he laid down his life for us, and (H)we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But (I)if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet (J)closes his heart against him, (K)how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not (L)love in word or talk but in deed and (M)in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

1 John 3:12-20
New International Version
12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one(A) and murdered his brother.(B) And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.(C) 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters,[a] if the world hates you.(D) 14 We know that we have passed from death to life,(E) because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.(F) 15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister(G) is a murderer,(H) and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.(I)
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.(J) And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.(K) 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them,(L) how can the love of God be in that person?(M) 18 Dear children,(N) let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.(O)
19 This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
