1 John 3:11-16

11

ThisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 messageG31 you have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746: We should loveG25 one anotherG240. 12Do notG3756 be likeG2531 CainG2535, who belonged toG1510G1537 theG3588 evilG4190 one andG2532 murderedG4969 hisG846 brotherG80. AndG2532 whyG5484G5101 did Cain slayG4969 himG846? BecauseG3754 hisG846 own deedsG2041 wereG1510 evilG4190, whileG1161 thoseG3588 ofG3588 hisG846 brotherG80 were righteousG1342. 13So do notG3361 be surprisedG2296, brothersG80, ifG1487 theG3588 worldG2889 hatesG3404 youG4771.

14WeG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 we have passedG3327 fromG1537 deathG2288 toG1519 lifeG2222, becauseG3754 we loveG25 our brothersG80. TheG3588 one who does not loveG3361G25 remainsG3306 inG1722 deathG2288. 15EveryoneG3956 whoG3588 hatesG3404 hisG846 brotherG80 isG1510 a murdererG443, andG2532 you knowG1492 thatG3754 eternalG166 lifeG2222 does notG3756 resideG3306 inG1722 aG3956 murdererG443.

16ByG1722 thisG3778 we knowG1097 whatG3588 loveG26 is: Jesus laid downG5087 HisG846 lifeG5590 forG5228 usG1473, andG2532 weG1473 oughtG3784 to lay downG5087 our livesG5590 forG5228 our brothersG80.
