1 John 3:14 - Forerunner Commentary

1 John 3:14

12 not as ^aCain 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 ^athe world hates you.

14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love¹ his brother abides in death.

15 ^aWhoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that ^bno murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

The Outworking of Love

16 ^aBy this we know love, ^bbecause He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
