1 John 3:12-20 Not as Cain , who was of that wicked one , and slew his brother . And wherefore slew he him ? Because his own works were evil , and his brother's righteous.

KJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

12 G3756 Not G2531 as G2535 Cain G2258 , who was [G5713] G1537 of G4190 that wicked one G2532 , and G4969 slew [G5656] G846 his G80 brother G2532 . And G5484 wherefore G5101 G4969 slew [G5656] G846 he him G3754 ? Because G846 his own G2041 works G2258 were [G5713] G4190 evil G1161 , and G846 his G80 brother's G1342 righteous.

13 G2296 Marvel [G5720] G3361 not G3450 , my G80 brethren G1487 , if G2889 the world G3404 hate [G5719] G5209 you.

14 G1492 We know [G5758] G3754 that G2249 we G3327 have passed [G5758] G1537 from G2288 death G1519 unto G2222 life G3754 , because G25 we love [G5719] G80 the brethren G25 . He that loveth [G5723] G3361 not G80 his brother G3306 abideth [G5719] G1722 in G2288 death.

15 G3956 Whosoever G3404 hateth [G5723] G846 his G80 brother G2076 is [G5748] G443 a murderer G2532 : and G1492 ye know [G5758] G3754 that G3756 no G3956 G443 murderer G2192 hath [G5719] G166 eternal G2222 life G3306 abiding [G5723] G1722 in G846 him.

16 G1722 Hereby G5129 G1097 perceive we [G5758] G26 the love G3754 of God, because G1565 he G5087 laid down [G5656] G846 his G5590 life G5228 for G2257 us G2532 : and G2249 we G3784 ought [G5719] G5087 to lay down [G5721] G5590 our lives G5228 for G80 the brethren.

17 G1161 But G3739 whoso G302 G2192 hath [G5725] G2889 this world's G979 good G2532 , and G2334 seeth [G5725] G846 his G80 brother G2192 have [G5723] G5532 need G2532 , and G2808 shutteth up [G5661] G846 his G4698 bowels G575 of compassion from G846 him G4459 , how G3306 dwelleth [G5719] G26 the love G2316 of God G1722 in G846 him?

18 G3450 My G5040 little children G25 , let us G3361 not G25 love [G5725] G3056 in word G3366 , neither G1100 in tongue G235 ; but G2041 in deed G2532 and G225 in truth.

19 G2532 And G1722 hereby G5129 G1097 we know [G5719] G3754 that G2070 we are [G5748] G1537 of G225 the truth G2532 , and G3982 shall assure [G5692] G2257 our G2588 hearts G1715 before G846 him.

20 G3754 For G1437 if G2257 our G2588 heart G2607 condemn us [G5725] G3754 , G2316 God G2076 is [G5748] G3187 greater G2257 than our G2588 heart G2532 , and G1097 knoweth [G5719] G3956 all things.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹² Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous. ¹³ Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. ¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto 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 him. ¹⁶ Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. ¹⁷ But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? ¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. ¹⁹ And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. ²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
