1 John 3:14-17

^{Tools
14} We know that we have ^(A)passed out of death into life, ^(B)because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. ^{Tools
15} Everyone who ^(C)hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that ^(D)no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. ^{Tools
16} We know love by this, that ^(E)He laid down His life for us; and ^(F)we ought to lay down our lives for the ^(G)brethren. ^{Tools
17} But ^(H)whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and ^(I)closes his ^(a)heart ^(b)against him, ^(J)how does the love of God abide in him?
