- 14We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death.
- 15Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
- 16By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
- 17But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him?
- 18My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
