1 John 3:11-24 - God Is Love, So Love One Another
11 For this is the tidings, that ye heard at the beginning, that we should love one another: 12 and not be as Cain, which was of the devil and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? For his own deeds were evil, and his brother's righteous. 13 Marvel not, my brethren, though the world hate you. 14 We know that we are translated from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death. 15 Whosoever hateth his brother, is a man slayer. And ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby are we assured of love: because he left his life for us: And therefore we ought also to give our lives for our brethren. 17 He, then, that hath the substance of the world, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his compassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18 My little children, let us not love in word, nor with the tongue: but with the deed, and of a truth: 19 for thereby we know that we be of the truth, and so shall we certify our hearts in his sight. 20 But if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and knoweth all things.
21 Dearly beloved, if our hearts condemn us not, then have we trust to God ward; 22 and whatsoever we ask, that we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave commandment. 24 And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And thereby we know that there dwelleth in us of his spirit, which he gave us.
