1 John 3:12-14

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹² We must not be like Cain, who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. ¹³ Do not be astonished, brothers and sisters, that the world hates you.^{(A) 14} We know that we have passed from death to life because we love the brothers and sisters. Whoever does not love abides in death.^(B)
