Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and slew his brother.

And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

We know, that we are passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murtherer, and ye know that no murtherer hath eternal life abiding in him.

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.

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?

And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

And this is his commandment, that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

And he that keepeth his commandments, abideth in him, and he in him: and hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Hereby was manifested the love of God toward us, because God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Herein is love; not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son, a propitiation for our sins.

No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Hereby we know that we abide in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

And we have seen and testify, that the Father sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar; for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God, whom he hath not seen?

And this commandment have we from him, that he who loveth God, love his brother also.

Hereby 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 grievous.

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; and this is the testimony of God, which he hath testified of his Son.

He that believeth on the Son of God, hath the testimony in himself. He that believeth not God, hath made him a liar, because he believeth not the testimony which he hath testified of his Son.
