約翰一書3:11-24

11我們應當彼此相愛。這就是你們從起初所聽見的命令。
12不可像該隱；他是屬那惡者，殺了他的兄弟。為甚麼殺了他呢？因自己的行為是惡的，兄弟的行為是善的。
13弟兄們，世人若恨你們，不要以為希奇。
14我們因為愛弟兄，就曉得是已經出死入生了。沒有愛心的，仍住在死中。
15凡恨他弟兄的，就是殺人的；你們曉得凡殺人的，沒有永生存在他裡面。
16主為我們捨命，我們從此就知道何為愛；我們也當為弟兄捨命。
17凡有世上財物的，看見弟兄窮乏，卻塞住憐恤的心，愛神的心怎能存在他裡面呢？
18小子們哪，我們相愛，不要只在言語和舌頭上，總要在行為和誠實上。
19從此就知道我們是屬真理的，並且我們的心在神面前可以安穩。
20我們的心若責備我們，神比我們的心大，一切事沒有不知道的。
21親愛的弟兄阿，我們的心若不責備我們，就可以向神坦然無懼了。
22並且我們一切所求的，就從他得著；因為我們遵守他的命令，行他所喜悅的事。
23神的命令就是叫我們信他兒子耶穌基督的名，且照他所賜給我們的命令彼此相愛。
24遵守神命令的，就住在神裡面；神也住在他裡面。我們所以知道神住在我們裡面是因他所賜給我們的聖靈。

1 John 3:11-24

Love One Another
11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers,[a] that the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; 22 and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. 24 Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God,[b] and God[c] in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
