1 John 3:15

Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him.

Weymouth NT (1912)

In The King James Version

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

In Context

14As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

16We know what love is--through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.
