3:11	For this is the announcement that you heard from the beginning: that you should love one another.
3:12	Do not be like Cain, who was of the evil one, and who killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked, but his brother’s works were just.
3:13	If the world hates you, germans, do not be surprised.
3:14	We know that we have passed from death to life. For we love as brothers. Whoever does not love, abides in death.
3:15	Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding within him.
3:16	We know the love of God in this way: because he laid down his life for us. I així, we must lay down our lives for our brothers.
3:17	Whoever possesses the goods of this world, and sees his brother to be in need, and yet closes his heart to him: in what way does the love of God abide in him?
3:18	Els meus fills petits, no estimem només amb paraules, sinó en obres i en veritat.
3:19	Per aquest camí, sabrem que som de la veritat, i lloarem els nostres cors davant d'ell.
3:20	Perquè encara que el nostre cor ens retregui, Déu és més gran que el nostre cor, i ell sap totes les coses.
3:21	El més estimat, si el nostre cor no ens retreu, podem tenir confiança en Déu;
