1 John3:15

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

That Life into which the Regenerate are begotten, is nothing else than the Beginning or first Principle of eternal Life, Iohn 4.14. whereof they cannot but be destitute, who hate their Brethren; a thing so contrary to the Divine Life, Nature, and Image, and which makes the Person affected with it, in the Temper and Habit of his Mind, a very Murderer.

Marginal references: Mat. 5.21, 22. Gal. 5.21.
