1 John 3:14-16

Expanded Bible

¹⁴ We know we have ·left death and have come into life [passed/crossed from death to life; John 5:24] because we love ·each other [^Lthe brothers and sisters]. Whoever does not love ·is still dead [abides/remains/continues in death]. ¹⁵ Everyone who hates a brother or sister [^Cfellow believer] is a murderer [^Cbecause they have killed that person in their heart; Matt. 5:21–26], and you know that no murderers have eternal life [^Labiding; remaining] in them. ¹⁶ This is how we know what real love is: ·Jesus [^Lhe] ·gave [laid down] his life for us [John 15:13]. So we should ·give [lay down] our lives for our brothers and sisters [^Cfellow believers; John 15:12].
