1 John 3:13-24

13Do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if 1the world hates you. 14We know that we have 2passed out of death into life, 3because we love the brothers and sisters. The one who does not love remains in death. 15Everyone who 4hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that 5no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. 16We know love by this, that 6He laid down His life for us; and 7we ought to lay down our lives for the 8brothers and sisters. 17But 9whoever has worldly goods and sees his brother or sister in need, and 10closes his 11heart 12against him, 13how does the love of God remain in him? 18 14Little children, let’s not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and 15truth. 19We will know by this that we are 16of the truth, and will set our heart at ease before Him, 20that if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart, and He knows all things. 21 17Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have 18confidence 19before God; 22and 20whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we 21keep His commandments and do 22the things that are pleasing in His sight.

23This is His commandment, that we 23 24believe in 25the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as 26He 27commanded us. 24The one who 28keeps His commandments 29remains in Him, and He in him. 30We know by this that 31He remains in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
