*
For this is the message that you heard from the beginning ,
that we should love one another ,
*
not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother .
And why did he murder him ?
Because his works were evil and his brother '
s righteous .
*
Do not marvel ,
my brethren ,
if the world hates you .
*
We know that we have passed from death to life ,
because we love the brethren .
He who does not love his brother abides in death .
*
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer ,
and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him .
*
By this we know love ,
because He laid down His life for us .
And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren .
*
But whoever has this world '
s goods ,
and sees his brother in need ,
and shuts up his heart from him ,
how does the love of God abide in him ?
*
My little children ,
let us not love in word or in tongue ,
but in deed and in truth .
