1 John 3:14-19
-
14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
-
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
-
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
-
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
-
18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
-
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
