1 John 3:10-18 In this are apparent the children of God and the children of the Adversary: everyone who is not doing righteousness is not of God, and who is not loving his brother."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ In this are apparent the children of God and the children of the Adversary: everyone who is not doing righteousness is not of God, and who is not loving his brother." ¹¹ For this is the message which you hear from the beginning, ¹² that we may be loving one another, not according as Cain was of the wicked one and slays his brother. And on behalf of what does he slay him? Seeing that his acts were wicked, yet those of his brother, just." ¹³ Marvel not, brethren, if the world is hating you." ¹⁴ We are aware that we have proceeded out of death into life, for we are loving our brethren. He who is not loving is remaining in death." ¹⁵ Everyone who is hating his brother is a man-killer, and you are aware that no man-killer at all has life eonian remaining in him." ¹⁶ By this we know love, seeing that He, for our sakes, lays down His soul. We also ought to lay down our souls for the sake of the brethren." ¹⁷ Now whoever may be having a livelihood in this world, and may be beholding his brother having need, and should be locking his compassions from him - how is the love of God remaining in him? ¹⁸ Little children, we should not be loving in word, neither in tongue, but in act and truth."
