^{15 Ref} Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining,

^{16 Ref} in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;

^{17 Ref} and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?

^{15 Ref} Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.

^{16 Ref} By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

^{17 Ref} But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and closes his heart of compassion against him, how does the love of God remain in him?
