LOVE IN ACTION
11For this is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another, 12unlike Cain,ah who was of the evil oneai and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
13Do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hatesaj you. 14We 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.ak 15Everyone who hates his brother or sisteral is a murderer,am and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. 16This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his lifean for us.ao We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.ap 17If anyone has this world’s goodsaq and sees a fellow believerI in needar but withholds compassionas from him—how does God’s love reside in him?at 18Little children, let us not love in word or speech, but in action and in truth.au
19This is how we will know that we belong to the trutha and will reassure our hearts before him 20whenever our hearts condemn us; for God is greater than our hearts, and he knows all things.b
21Dear friends, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have confidence before God 22and receive whatever we ask from him because we keep his commandsc and do what is pleasing in his sight. 23Now this is his command: that we believe in the named of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another as he commanded us. 24The one who keeps his commands remains in him,e and he in him. And the way we know that he remains in usf is from the Spiritg he has given us.
