Context Readings

God Is Love, So Love One Another

10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed. Whoever does not practice righteousness is not from God. He who does not love his brother is not from God. 11 For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; 12 We should not be like Cain who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he murder him? It was because his works were evil, and his brother's were righteous.
