1 John 3:14-17 As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

WNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead. ¹⁵ Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him. ¹⁶ We know what love is--through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men. ¹⁷ But if any one has this world's wealth and sees that his brother man is in need, and yet hardens his heart against him--how can such a one continue to love God?
