9Whoever says he is in the light and ahates his brother is still in darkness. 10Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him
Or it
there is no ccause for stumbling.
11But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and dwalks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

1 John 3:11-15

Love One Another

11For ethis is the message that you have heard from the beginning, fthat we should love one another. 12We should not be like gCain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? hBecause his own deeds were evil and his brother’s righteous. 13Do not be surprised, brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters. The plural Greek word adelphoi (translated “brothers”) refers to siblings in a family. In New Testament usage, depending on the context, adelphoi may refer either to men or to both men and women who are siblings (brothers and sisters) in God’s family, the church; also verses 14, 16
jthat the world hates you.
14We know that kwe have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 lEveryone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that mno murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
