"God Is Love, So We Must Love One Another For this is the gospel message that you have heard from the beginning: that we should love one another,"
— 1 John 3:11, NET Bible
“For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.”
“For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: ”
“For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;”
“For this is the declaration which you have heard from the beginning, that you should love one another.”
“Because this is the word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for one another;”
“For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.”
The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed: to destroy the works of the devil.
Everyone who has been fathered by God does not practice sin, because God’s seed resides in him, and thus he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God.
By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Everyone who does not practice righteousness– the one who does not love his fellow Christian– is not of God.
God Is Love, So We Must Love One Another For this is the gospel message that you have heard from the beginning: that we should love one another,
not like Cain who was of the evil one and brutally murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his deeds were evil, but his brother’s were righteous.
Therefore do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.
We know that we have crossed over from death to life because we love our fellow Christians. The one who does not love remains in death.
