1 John 3:14-20 We know that we have passed out of Death into Life, because we love our Brothers. The man who does not love remains in a state of Death.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ We know that we have passed out of Death into Life, because we love our Brothers. The man who does not love remains in a state of Death. ¹⁵ Every one who hates his Brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has Immortal Life within him. ¹⁶ We have learned to know what love is from this--that Christ laid down his life on our behalf. Therefore we also ought to lay down our lives on behalf of our Brothers. ¹⁷ But, if any one has worldly possessions, and yet looks on while his Brother is in want, and steels his heart against him, how can it be said that the love of God is within him? ¹⁸ My children, do not let our love be mere words, or end in talk; let it be true and show itself in acts. ¹⁹ By that we shall know that we are on the side of the Truth; and we shall satisfy ourselves in God's sight, ²⁰ that if our conscience condemns us, yet God is greater than our conscience and knows everything.
