Context Readings

God Is Love, So Love One Another

10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; for every one who does not work righteousness is not a child of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. 11 For this is the message that you have listened to from the beginning, "WE ARE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER." 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.
