The letter on the message to love one another, and on Cain, who killed his brother
서로 사랑하라는 소식과 그 아우를 죽인 가인에 대한 편지의 말
1 John 3:11–18: The letter says, “For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous. Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death. Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him? My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.” The Korean Revised Version opens 3:12 with a command of its own, 가인 같이 하지 말라 (do not be as Cain), where WEB goes on from 3:11 with “unlike Cain”.
