1 John 3:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 [a]We know that we are [b]translated from death unto life, because we love the brethren: (A)he that loveth not his brother, abideth in death.
15 [c]Whosoever hateth his brother, is a manslayer: and ye know that no manslayer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 (B)[d]Hereby have we perceived love, that he laid down his life for us: therefore we ought also to lay down our lives for the brethren.

- 1 John 3:14 The second reason: Because charity is a testimony that we are translated from death to life: and therefore hatred towards the brethren is a testimony of death, and whosoever nourished it, doth as it were foster death in his bosom.
- 1 John 3:14 Love is a token that we are translated from death to life, for as such as by the effects the cause is known.
- 1 John 3:15 A confirmation: Whosoever is a murderer, is in eternal death, who so hateth his brother, is a murderer, therefore he is in death. And thereupon followeth the contrary. He that loveth his brother, hath passed to life, for indeed we are born dead.
- 1 John 3:16 Now he showeth how far Christian charity extendeth, even so far, that according to the example of Christ, every man forget himself, to provide for and help his brethren.
