1 John 3:13-24
“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 loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye
know that no murderer hath 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 hath this world's good, and seeth his
brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how
dwelleth 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 knoweth 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 keepeth his commandments dwelleth in
him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit
which he hath given us.”
Praise ye the
Lord!!!
