1 John 3:12-15
12not as 1Cain, who was of 2the evil one and murdered his brother. And for what reason did he murder him? Because 3his own deeds were evil, but his brother’s were righteous.
13Do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if 4the world hates you. 14We know that we have 5passed out of death into life, 6because we love the brothers and sisters. The one who does not love remains in death. 15Everyone who 7hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that 8no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
