1 John 3:10-12

10By thisG3778 the 1childrenG5043 of GodG2316 and the 2childrenG5043 of the devilG1228 are obviousG5318: 3anyoneG3956 who does not practiceG4160 righteousnessG1343 is not of GodG2316, norG2532 the one who 4does not loveG25 his 5brotherG80.

116For thisG3778 is the messageG31 7whichG3739 you have heardG191 from the beginningG746, 8that we should loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240; 12not as 9CainG2535, who was of 10the evilG4190 oneG4190 and slewG4969 his brotherG80. And for whatG5101 reasonG5484 did he slayG4969 him? BecauseG3754 11his deedsG2041 were evilG4190, and his brother’sG80 were righteousG1342.
