Compare all
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.
