1 John 3:11-16
111For thisG3778 is the messageG31 2whichG3739 you have heardG191 from the beginningG746, 3that we should loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240; 12not as 4CainG2535, who was of 5the evilG4190 oneG4190 and slewG4969 his brotherG80. And for whatG5101 reasonG5484 did he slayG4969 him? BecauseG3754 6his deedsG2041 were evilG4190, and his brother’sG80 were righteousG1342.
13Do not be surprisedG2296, brethrenG80, ifG1487 7the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you. 14We knowG3609 that we have 8passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222, 9becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brethrenG80. He who does not loveG25 abidesG3306 in deathG2288. 15EveryoneG3956 who 10hatesG3404 his brotherG80 is a murdererG443; and you knowG3609 that 11noG3956G3756 murdererG443 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 abidingG3306 in him. 16We knowG1097 loveG26 by thisG3778, that 12He laidG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for us; and 13we oughtG3784 to layG5087 downG5087 our livesG5590 for the 14brethrenG80.
