1 John 3:14-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers and sisters. The one who does not love remains in death.^{(A) 15} Everyone who hates his brother or sister^(B) is a murderer,^(C) and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. ¹⁶ This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life^(D) for us.^(E) We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.^{(F) 17} If anyone has this world’s goods^(G) and sees a fellow believer^[a] in need^(H) but withholds compassion^(I) from him—how does God’s love reside in him?^{(J) 18} Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.^(K)
