1 John 3:11-13

The Voice

¹¹ The central truth—the one you have heard since the beginning of your faith—is that we must love one another. ¹² Please do not act like Cain, who was of the evil one. He brutally murdered his own brother.^[a] Why would he do something so despicable? Because his life was devoted to evil and selfishness, and his brother chose to do what is right.

¹³ Brothers and sisters, don’t be shocked if the corrupt world despises you.
