1 John 3:15 in Context — 1 John 3

13 Meus irmãos, não vos surpreendeis se o mundo vos odeia.

14 Nós sabemos que já passamos da morte para a vida, pois amamos os irmãos. Quem não ama[seu] irmão permanece na morte.

15 Todo aquele que odeia o seu irmão é homicida. E sabeis que nenhum homicida tem a vida eterna habitando nele.

16 Nisto conhecemos o amor: ele deu a sua vida por nós. E nós devemos dar as [nossas] vidas pelos irmãos.

17 Se alguém tiver bens do mundo, e vir o seu irmão em necessidade, e não se compadecer dele, como pode o amor de Deus estar nele?
