1 John 3:10-14

10By thisG3778 the 1childrenG5043 of GodG2316 and the 2childrenG5043 of the devilG1228 are obviousG5318: 3anyoneG3956 who does not practiceG4160 righteousnessG1343 is not of GodG2316, norG2532 the one who 4does not loveG25 his 5brotherG80 and sister.

116For thisG3778 is the messageG31 7whichG3739 you have heardG191 from the beginningG746, 8that we are to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240; 12not as 9CainG2535, who was of 10the evilG4190 oneG4190 and murderedG4969 his brotherG80. And for whatG5101 reasonG5484 did he murderG4969 him? BecauseG3754 11his own deedsG2041 were evilG4190, but his brother’sG80 were righteousG1342.

13Do not beG2296 surprisedG2296, brothersG80 and sisters, ifG1487 12the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you. 14We knowG3609 that we have 13passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222, 14becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brothersG80 and sisters. The one who does not loveG25 remainsG3306 in deathG2288.
