1 John 3:11-24

[11] For  this  the message  that  ye heard  from  the beginning,  that  we should love  one another.  [12] Not  as  Cain,  of  that wicked one,  and  slew  his  brother.  And  wherefore  slew  he him?  Because  his own  works  evil,  and  his  brother's  righteous.  [13] Marvel  not,  brethren,  if  the world  hate  [14] We know  that  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  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  and  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] little children,  not  love  in word,  neither  in tongue;  but  in deed  and  in truth.  [19] And  hereby  we know  that  of  the truth,  and  shall assure  hearts  before  him.  [20] For  if  heart  condemn us,  God  heart,  and  knoweth  all things.  [21] Beloved,  heart  condemn  then have we  confidence  toward  God.  [22] And  whatsoever  we ask,  we receive  him,  because  we keep  his  commandments,  and  do  those things that are pleasing  in his  sight.  [23] And  this  his  commandment,  That  we should believe  on the name  of his  Son  Jesus  Christ,  and  love  one another,  as  he gave  commandment.  [24] And  he that keepeth  his  commandments  dwelleth  in  him,  and  he  in  him.  And  hereby  we know  that  he abideth  in  by  the Spirit  which  he hath given
