1 John 3:11

11 The message that you have heard from the beginning is to love each other.

1 John 3:11 In-Context

9 Those who have been born from God don't live sinful lives. What God has said lives in them, and they can't live sinful lives. They have been born from God.
10 This is the way God's children are distinguished from the devil's children. Everyone who doesn't do what is right or love other believers isn't God's child.
11 The message that you have heard from the beginning is to love each other.
12 Don't be like Cain. He was a child of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did Cain murder his brother? Because the things Cain did were evil and the things his brother did had God's approval.
13 Brothers and sisters, don't be surprised if the world hates you.
