1 John 3:10-18
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. 15EveryoneG3956 who 15hatesG3404 his brotherG80 or sister is a murdererG443, and you knowG3609 that 16noG3956G3756 murdererG443 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 remainingG3306 in him. 16We knowG1097 loveG26 by thisG3778, that 17He laidG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for us; and 18we oughtG3784 to layG5087 downG5087 our livesG5590 for the 19brothersG80 and sisters. 17But 20whoeverG3739G302 hasG2192 worldlyG2889 goodsG979 and seesG2334 his brotherG80 or sister in needG5532, and 21closesG2808 his 22heartG4698 23againstG575 him, 24howG4459 does the loveG26 of GodG2316 remainG3306 in him? 1825LittleG5040 childrenG5040, let’s not loveG25 with wordG3056 orG3366 with tongueG1100, but in deedG2041 and 26truthG225.
