1 John 3:12-20 We are not to be like Cain, who belonged to the Evil One, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? It was because his own deeds were evil, and his brother's, righteous.

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² We are not to be like Cain, who belonged to the Evil One, and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? It was because his own deeds were evil, and his brother's, righteous. ¹³ Do not wonder, brothers, if the world continues to hate you. ¹⁴ We know that we have migrated, out of death into life, because we love our brothers. He who has no love is abiding in death. ¹⁵ Every one who is hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. ¹⁶ By this we learn to know love, because he laid down his life for us; so we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. ¹⁷ But whoever has this world's goods, and beholds his brother in need, and shuts up his heart against him, how can the love of God continue to abide in him? ¹⁸ My children, let us not love in word nor in talk, but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ By this we shall come to know that we are really of the truth, ²⁰ and shall persuade our heart in his presence whenever our heart condemns us, because God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
