1 John 3:9-19

9 Whosoever is borne of god sinneth not: for his seed remayneth in him and he cannot sinne because he is borne of god.

10 In this are the children of god knowen and the children of the devyll. Whosoever doeth not rightewesnes is not of God nether he that loveth not his brother.

11 For this is the tydinges that ye hearde fro the begynninge that we shuld love one another:

12 not as Cayn which was of the wicked and slewe his brother. And wherfore slewe he him? Because his awne workes were evyll and his brothers good.

13 Marvayle not my brethren though the worlde hate you.

14 We knowe that we are translated from deeth vnto lyfe be cause we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abydeth in deeth.

15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a man slear. And ye knowe that no man slear hath eternall lyfe abydinge in him.

16 Herby perceave we love: that he gave his lyfe for vs: and therfore ought we also to geve oure lyves for the brethre.

17 Whosoever hath this worldes good and seith his brother have neade: and shutteth vp his copassion from him: how dwelleth the love of God in him?

18 My babes let vs not love in worde nether in tonge: but with dede and in veritie:

19 for therby we knowe that we are of the veritie and can before him quiet oure hertes.
