1 John 3:10-18

ACV(i) 10 By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother. 11 Because this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love each other. 12 Not as Cain. He was of the wicked, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were wrong, and his brother's right. 13 Marvel not, my brothers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death. 15 Every man hating his brother is a man-killer. And ye know that no man-killer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 By this we know love, because that man laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 My little children, we should not love in word, nor with the tongue, but in deed and in truth.
