1 John 3:11-16

11For this is the message which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:

12not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous.

13Do not wonder, brethren, if the world hate you.

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

15Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

16Hereby we have known love, because he has laid down his life for us; and we ought for the brethren to lay down [our] lives.
