13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death.
15 Whoever hateth his brother, is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we perceive 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 he who 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 by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
