13 ) Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
-
14 ) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death.
-
15 ) Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and all of you know that no murderer has 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 has this world's good, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of God in him?
-
18 ) My little children, let us not love 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.
-
20 ) For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
-
21 ) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
-
22 ) And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
-
23 ) And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
-
24 ) And he that keeps his commandments dwells in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given us.
