9 Whoever says he is in the light and ^ghates his brother is still in darkness.

11 But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and ^jwalks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.

15 ^bEveryone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

20 If anyone says, ^k“I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a ^lliar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot¹ love God whom he has not seen.
