1 John 3:15 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Anyone who hates their brother or sister is basically a murderer in their heart. And you already know that murderers don't have eternal life living in them.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Hate in your heart is just murder that hasn't happened yet — and that's not the vibe for eternal life.
