1 John 3:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ All who hate a brother or sister^[a] are murderers, and you know that murderers do not have eternal life abiding in them. ¹⁶ We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another. ¹⁷ How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister^[b] in need and yet refuses help?
