Love One Another
11 (A)The message you heard from the very beginning is this: we must love one another. 12 (B)We must not be like Cain; he belonged to the Evil One and murdered his own brother Abel. Why did Cain murder him? Because the things he himself did were wrong, and the things his brother did were right.
13 So do not be surprised, my friends, if the people of the world hate you.
