1 John 3:15-18

15Everyone who 1hates his brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that 2no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.

16We know love by this, that 3He laid down His life for us; and 4we ought to lay down our lives for the 5brothers and sisters.

17But 6whoever has worldly goods and sees his brother or sister in need, and 7closes his 8heart 9against him, 10how does the love of God remain in him?

1811Little children, let’s not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and 12truth.
