1 John 3:11-15
여러분이 처음부터 들은 소식은 이것이니, 곧 우리가 서로 사랑해야 한다는 것입니다.
우리는 가인과 같은 사람이 되지 말아야 합니다. 그는 악한 자에게 속한 사람이어서 자기 동생을 쳐죽였습니다. 무엇 때문에 그는 동생을 쳐죽였습니까? 그가 한 일은 악했는데, 동생이 한 일은 의로웠기 때문입니다.
형제자매 여러분, 세상이 여러분을 미워해도 이상히 여기지 마십시오.
우리가 이미 죽음에서 생명으로 옮겨갔다는 것을 우리는 압니다. 이것을 아는 것은 우리가 형제자매를 사랑하기 때문입니다. 사랑하지 않는 사람은 죽음에 머물러 있습니다.
자기 형제자매를 미워하는 사람은 누구나 살인하는 사람입니다. 살인하는 사람은 누구나 그 속에 영원한 생명이 머물러 있지 않다는 것을 여러분은 압니다.This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.
Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.
We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.

We should also think about what it means to murder. On one hand, it could mean physically killing others as in the case of Cain to his brother Abel. But I think murder could also refer to verbally hurting others by insulting them with words that could inflict pain and anger. The bottom line is that murder is the result of lack of love due to absence of Christ's presence in our lives who considers us righteous although we are evil by nature. But I pray that the hope of eternal life (Kingdom of God ruling in my life) and His revelation will continuously encourage me to learn how to love. Amen!
