1 John 3: 13 - 18
|
| 13
|
Do not wonder, brethren, that the world hates you.
|
| 14
|
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.
|
| 15
|
Any one who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
|
| 16
|
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
|
| 17
|
But if any one has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?
|
| 18
|
Little children, let us not love in word or speech but in deed and in truth.
