1 John 3:12-20
New King James Version
12 not as (A)Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother’s righteous.
13 Do not marvel, my brethren, if (B)the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love [a]his brother abides in death. 15 (C)Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that (D)no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
The Outworking of Love
16 (E)By this we know love, (F)because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. 17 But (G)whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?
18 My little children, (H)let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19 And by this we [b]know (I)that we are of the truth, and shall [c]assure our hearts before Him. 20 (J)For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

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.
