Thematic Bible: Those that hate their brother
Thematic Bible
Hate » Those that hate their brother
The one saying that he is in the light, and hating his brother, is in the darkness until now. The one loving his brother with divine love abides in the light, and there is no stumbling in him. But the one hating his brother is in darkness, and walks about in darkness, and does not know whither he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
We know that we have passed out of the death into the life, because we love the brethren with divine love; the one loving not with divine love, abides in the death. Every one hating his brother is a murderer: and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in himself.
If any one may say, I love God with divine love, and may hate his brother, he is a liar: for the one not loving his brother whom he has seen, with divine love, is not able to love God, whom he has not seen, with divine love.
