1 John 3:13

God Is Love, So Love One Another

Because his own actions were wicked and his brother's actions righteous. ¹³ Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you. ¹⁴ As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.
