1John:3:10-23
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In this the children of God are manifest ,
and the children of the devil :
whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God ,
neither he that loveth not his brother .
*
For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning ,
that we should love one another .
*
Not as Cain ,
who was of that 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 have passed from death unto life ,
because we love the brethren .
He that loveth not his brother abideth in death .
*
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer :
and ye know that no murderer 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 ?
*
My little children ,
let us not love in word ,
neither in tongue ;
but in deed and in truth .
*
And hereby we know that we are of the truth ,
and shall assure our hearts before him .
*
For if our heart condemn us ,
God is greater than our heart ,
and knoweth all things .
*
Beloved ,
if our heart condemn us not ,
then have we confidence toward God .
*
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 .
