1 John 3:12-14

The Voice

¹² Please do not act like Cain, who was of the evil one. He brutally murdered his own brother.^[a] Why would he do something so despicable? Because his life was devoted to evil and selfishness, and his brother chose to do what is right.

¹³ Brothers and sisters, don’t be shocked if the corrupt world despises you. ¹⁴ We know that we have crossed over from death to real life because we are devoted to true love for our brothers and sisters. Anyone who does not love lives among corpses.
