¹⁰ The one who loves his brother or sister^(A) remains in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.^[a]

¹⁰ This is how God’s children and the devil’s children become obvious. Whoever does not do what is right is not of God, especially the one who does not love his brother or sister.^(A)

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers and sisters. The one who does not love remains in death.^{(A) 15} Everyone who hates his brother or sister^(B) is a murderer,^(C) and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him. ¹⁶ This is how we have come to know love: He laid down his life^(D) for us.^(E) We should also lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.^{(F) 17} If anyone has this world’s goods^(G) and sees a fellow believer^[a] in need^(H) but withholds compassion^(I) from him – how does God’s love reside in him?^(J)
