LOVE ONE ANOTHER

 

1 John 3:11-24

11 THIS IS THE MESSAGE YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING:

We should love one another.

12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the Evil One

And Murdered his brother.

AND WHY DID HE MURDER HIM?

Because his own Actions were Evil

And his brother's were Righteous.

13 DO NOT BE SURPRISED, MY BROTHERS,

IF THE WORLD HATES YOU.

14 We know that we have passed from Death to Life,

Because we love our brothers.

ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LOVE REMAINS IN DEATH.

15 Anyone who Hates his brother is a Murderer,

And you know that no Murderer has Eternal Life In Him.

16 THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WHAT LOVE IS:

Jesus Christ laid down His life for us.

And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

17 If anyone has material possessions

And sees his brother in need

But has no Pity on him,

How can the love of God be in him?

18 Dear Children, let us not love with words or tongue

But with Actions.

19 This is how we know that we belong to the Truth,

And how we set our heats at Rest in His Presence

20 Whenever our hearts Condemn us.

FOR GOD IS GREATER THAN OUR HEARTS,

AND HE KNOWS EVERYTHING.

21 Dear Friends, if our hearts do not Condemn us,

We have Confidence before God

22 And receive from Him anything we ask,

BECAUSE WE OBEY HIS COMMANDS

AND DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.

23 AND THIS IS HIS COMMAND:

TO BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST,

AND TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS HE COMMANDED US.

24 THOSE WHO OBEY HIS COMMANDS LIVE IN HIM,

AND HE IN THEM.

AND THIS IS HOW WE KNOW THAT HE LIVES IN US;

WE KNOW IT BY THE SPIRIT HE GAVE US.
