1 John 3:15 in Context — 1 John 3

13 Ne vous étonnez pas, frères, si le monde vous hait.

14 Nous savons que nous sommes passés de la mort à la vie, parce que nous aimons les frères. Celui qui n’aime pas demeure dans la mort.

15 Quiconque hait son frère est un meurtrier, et vous savez qu’aucun meurtrier n’a la vie éternelle demeurant en lui.

16 Nous avons connu l’amour, en ce qu’il a donné sa vie pour nous; nous aussi, nous devons donner notre vie pour les frères.

17 Si quelqu’un possède les biens du monde, et que, voyant son frère dans le besoin, il lui ferme ses entrailles, comment l’amour de Dieu demeure-t-il en lui?
