13 Maruayle not (my brethren) though the worlde hate you.
14 We knowe yt we are traslated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren. He that loueth not his brother, abydeth in death.
15 Who soeuer hateth his brother, is a mansleyer. And ye knowe that a mansleyer hath not eternall life abydinge in him.
16 Hereby haue we perceaued loue, that he gaue his life for vs, and therfore ought we also to geue oure lyues for the brethre.
17 But he yt hath this worldes good, & seyth his brother haue nede, and shutteth vp his hert fro him, how dwelleth the loue of God in him?
18 My litle children, let vs not loue with worde nether with tonge, but with ye dede, and with the trueth.
19 Hereby knowe we, that we are of the verite, and can quyete oure hertes before him.
