12 not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hateth you.
14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer; and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself.
16 Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17 But whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?
18 My Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue, but in deed and truth.
19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him:
20 because if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
