1 John 3:11

The message you've heard from the beginning is simply this: we should love one another.

Free Bible Version

In The King James Version

For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

10This is how God's children and the devil's children can be distinguished: all those who don't do what's right don't belong to God, nor do those who don't love their fellow Christians.

12We cannot be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one, and murdered his brother. Why did he murder him? Because Cain did what was evil, while his brother did what was right.
