God Is Love, So Love One Another
10 This is how the children of God and those of the devil can be distinguished: No one who does not act uprightly or who does not love his brother is a child of God. 11 For the message you have heard from the beginning is this: We must love one another. 12 We must not be like Cain who was a child of the evil one, and butchered his brother. And why did he butcher him? Because his own actions were wicked and his brother's upright.
