1 John 3:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]In this are the children of God known, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness, is not of God, [b]neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 [c]For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that (A)we should love one another,
12 [d]Not as (B)[e]Cain which was of that wicked one, and slew his brother: [f]and wherefore slew he him? because his own works were evil, and his brother’s good.
