1 John 3:14
Compare all
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.  
17 But awhoever 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, alet us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.  
19 And by this we1 know athat we are of the truth, and shall2 assure our hearts before Him.  
20 aFor if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.  
21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, awe have confidence toward God.  
22 And awhatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments band do those things that are pleasing in His sight.  
23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ aand love one another, as He gave1 us commandment.  

The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error

24 Now ahe who keeps His commandments babides in Him, and He in him. And cby this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
