12Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good.
13Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world has no love for you.
14We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.
15Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life in him.
16In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers.
17But if a man has this world's goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him?
18My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith.
