But the one hating his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness blinded his eyes.

Little children, I write to you because you have been forgiven your sins through His name.

And the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone teach you. But as His anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and as He taught you, abide in Him.

And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He is revealed we may have confidence, and not be shamed from Him in His coming.

Everyone who has been begotten of God does not sin, because His seed abides in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.

By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Everyone not practicing righteousness is not of God; also the one not loving his brother.

not as Cain was of the evil one, and killed his brother. And for what did he kill him? Because his works were evil, but the things of his brother were righteous.

By this we have known the love of God , because that One laid down His life for us; and on behalf of the brothers we ought to lay down our lives.

Whoever has the means of life of the world, and sees his brother having need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

And whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments, and we do the things pleasing before Him.

And this is His commandment, that we should believe the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as He gave command to us.

And the one keeping His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He gave to us.

By this the love of God was revealed in us, because His Son, the Only begotten, God has sent into the world that we might live through Him.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be a propitiation relating to our sins.

No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love having been perfected is in us.

By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because of His Spirit He has given to us.

If anyone says, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. For the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, how is he able to love God whom he has not seen?

And we have this commandment from Him, that the one who loves God also loves his brother.

By this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God and keep His commandments.

For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not heavy.
