1 John 3:12-15

12not as 1Cain, who was of 2the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because 3his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.

13Do not be surprised, brethren, if 4the world hates you. 14We know that we have 5passed out of death into life, 6because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. 15Everyone who 7hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that 8no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
