1 John 3:10-18
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.
13Do not be surprisedG2296, brethrenG80, ifG1487 12the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you. 14We knowG3609 that we have 13passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222, 14becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brethrenG80. He who does not loveG25 abidesG3306 in deathG2288. 15EveryoneG3956 who 15hatesG3404 his brotherG80 is a murdererG443; and you knowG3609 that 16noG3956G3756 murdererG443 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 abidingG3306 in him. 16We knowG1097 loveG26 by thisG3778, that 17He laidG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for us; and 18we oughtG3784 to layG5087 downG5087 our livesG5590 for the 19brethrenG80. 17But 20whoeverG3739G302 hasG2192 the world’sG2889 goodsG979, and seesG2334 his brotherG80 in needG5532 and 21closesG2808 his 22heartG4698 23againstG575 him, 24howG4459 does the loveG26 of GodG2316 abideG3306 in him? 1825LittleG5040 childrenG5040, let us not loveG25 with wordG3056 orG3366 with tongueG1100, but in deedG2041 and 26truthG225.
