1 John 3:12-15

New International Version

¹² Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one^(A) and murdered his brother.^(B) And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.^{(C) 13} Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters,^[a] if the world hates you.^{(D) 14} We know that we have passed from death to life,^(E) because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.^{(F) 15} Anyone who hates a brother or sister^(G) is a murderer,^(H) and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.^(I)
