1John:3:11-24
isv@1John:3:11 @ This is the message that you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
isv@1John:3:12 @ Do not be like Cain, who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's were righteous.
isv@1John:3:13 @ So do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.
isv@1John:3:14 @ We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love one another. The person who does not love remains in death.
isv@1John:3:15 @ Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
isv@1John:3:16 @ This is how we have come to know love: Christ gave his life for us. We, too, ought to give our lives for our brothers.
isv@1John:3:17 @ Whoever has earthly possessions and notices a brother in need and yet withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God remain in him?
isv@1John:3:18 @ Little children, we must stop loving in word and in tongue, but instead love in action and in truth.
isv@1John:3:19 @ And this is how we will know that we belong to the truth and how we will be able to establish our hearts in his presence.
isv@1John:3:20 @ If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.
isv@1John:3:21 @ Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence in the presence of God.
isv@1John:3:22 @ Whatever we request we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him.
isv@1John:3:23 @ And this is his commandment: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.
isv@1John:3:24 @ The person who keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. This is how we can be sure that he remains in us: he has given us his Spirit.
