1 John 3:14-19 We know, that we are passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

Wesley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ We know, that we are passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he that loveth not his brother abideth in death. ¹⁵ Whosoever hateth his brother is a murtherer, and ye know that no murtherer 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 beloved children, let us love not 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.
