## 1 John 3:13-19 in Context (Verses 10–22 KJV)
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-john/3/10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/1-john/3/11) For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-john/3/12) Not as Cain, *who* was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-john/3/13) Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-john/3/14) We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not *his* brother abideth in death.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-john/3/15) Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-john/3/16) Hereby perceive we the love *of God*, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down *our* lives for the brethren.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-john/3/17) But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels *of compassion* from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
 
 [18 ](/kjv/1-john/3/18) My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/1-john/3/19) And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/1-john/3/20) For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/1-john/3/21) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, *then* have we confidence toward God.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/1-john/3/22) And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
 
[1 John 2](/kjv/1-john/2) [1 John 4](/kjv/1-john/4)
