1 John 3:14-20

ACV(i) 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who is not loving the brother abides in death. 15 Every man hating his brother is a man-killer. And ye know that no man-killer has eternal life abiding in him. 16 By this we know love, because that man laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But whoever has the world's living, and sees his brother having need, and closes his bowels from him, how does the love of God abide in him? 18 My little children, we should not love in word, nor with the tongue, but in deed and in truth. 19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts before him. 20 Because if our heart should condemn us, that God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
