| 3:1 | Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the sons of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. |

| 3:12 | not as Cain who was of that wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were evil and his brother's righteous. |
| 3:13 | Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. |
| 3:14 | We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. |
| 3:15 | Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. |
| 3:16 | By this we perceive the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also should lay down our lives for the brethren. |
| 3:17 | But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him? |
| 3:18 | My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. |

| 3:12 | not as Cayn which was of the wicked and slewe his brother. And wherfore slewe he him? Because his awne workes were evyll and his brothers good. |
