1 John 3:12-15

^{Tools
12} not as ^(A)Cain, who was of ^(B)the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because ^(C)his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.

^{Tools
13} Do not be surprised, brethren, if ^(D)the world hates you. ^{Tools
14} We know that we have ^(E)passed out of death into life, ^(F)because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death. ^{Tools
15} Everyone who ^(G)hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that ^(H)no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
