1 John 3:14-18

14We knowG3609 that we have 1passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222, 2becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brethrenG80. He who does not loveG25 abidesG3306 in deathG2288.

15EveryoneG3956 who 3hatesG3404 his brotherG80 is a murdererG443; and you knowG3609 that 4noG3956G3756 murdererG443 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 abidingG3306 in him.

16We knowG1097 loveG26 by thisG3778, that 5He laidG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for us; and 6we oughtG3784 to layG5087 downG5087 our livesG5590 for the 7brethrenG80.

17But 8whoeverG3739G302 hasG2192 the world’sG2889 goodsG979, and seesG2334 his brotherG80 in needG5532 and 9closesG2808 his 10heartG4698 11againstG575 him, 12howG4459 does the loveG26 of GodG2316 abideG3306 in him?

1813LittleG5040 childrenG5040, let us not loveG25 with wordG3056 orG3366 with tongueG1100, but in deedG2041 and 14truthG225.
