orthjbc 1John:3:11-24
orthjbc@1John:3:11 @ Because this is the divrei Torah which we heard from the Reshit, that we have ahavah one for another,
orthjbc@1John:3:12 @ not as Kayin, who was of the evil one, and slaughtered the ach of him; and for what cause did he slaughter him? Because the ma'asim of him were ra'im and the ma'asim of the ach of him were tzedek. [Bereshis strkjv@4:8; Tehillim strkjv@38:20; Mishle strkjv@29:10]
orthjbc@1John:3:13 @ And, Achim b'Moshiach, do not marvel if the Olam Hazeh hates you.
orthjbc@1John:3:14 @ We have da'as that we have passed out of mavet into Chayyim, because we have ahavah for the Achim b'Moshiach; the one not having ahavah makes his ma'on in death.
orthjbc@1John:3:15 @ Everyone hating his Ach b'Moshiach is a rotzeiach (note:)murderer(:note). And you have da'as that every rotzeiach does not have Chayyei Olam making a ma'on in him.
orthjbc@1John:3:16 @ By this we have had da'as of ahavah, because that One on behalf of us laid down his neshamah; and we ought, on behalf of the Achim b'Moshiach, to lay down our neshamot.
orthjbc@1John:3:17 @ Now whoever has vital possessions of the Olam Hazeh and sees the Ach b'Moshiach of him being nitzrach (note:)needy(:note) and has no rachamim on him [Devarim strkjv@15:7,8] and refuses gemilut Chesed, how does the ahavas Hashem make ma'on in him?
orthjbc@1John:3:18 @ Yeladim, let us not have ahavah in dvar or in lashon but in ma'aseh and in Emes.[Yechezkel strkjv@33:31]
orthjbc@1John:3:19 @ And by this we will have da'as that we are of HaEmes, and before him we will persuade our levavot,
orthjbc@1John:3:20 @ that if our levavot condemn us, Hashem is greater than our levavot, and he has da'as of all things.
orthjbc@1John:3:21 @ Chaverim, if our levavot do not bring us under the gezar din (note:)verdict(:note) of ashem guilty, we have bittachon before Hashem.
orthjbc@1John:3:22 @ And whatever we request, we receive from him, because we are shomer of his mitzvot and the things pleasing before him we practice.
orthjbc@1John:3:23 @ And this is the mitzvah of him, that we have emunah b'Shem of the Ben HaElohim of him, Yehoshua, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and that we have ahavah one for another, as he gave mitzvah to us.
orthjbc@1John:3:24 @ And the one being shomer of his mitzvot makes his ma'on in him and he makes his ma'on in him; and by this we have da'as that he abides in us, by the Ruach Hakodesh whom he gave to us.
