1 John 3:13-15

1599 Geneva Bible

Footnotes

1. 1 John 3:14 The second reason: Because charity is a testimony that we are translated from death to life: and therefore hatred towards the brethren is a testimony of death, and whosoever nourished it, doth as it were foster death in his bosom.
2. 1 John 3:14 Love is a token that we are translated from death to life, for as such as by the effects the cause is known.
3. 1 John 3:15 A confirmation: Whosoever is a murderer, is in eternal death, who so hateth his brother, is a murderer, therefore he is in death. And thereupon followeth the contrary. He that loveth his brother, hath passed to life, for indeed we are born dead.
