We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death.
All Commentaries on 1 John 3:14 Go To 1 John 3
Clement Of Alexandria
AD 215
And if we owe our lives to the brethren, and have made such a mutual compact with the Saviour, why should we any more hoard and shut up worldly goods, which are beggarly, foreign to us and transitory? Shall we shut up from each other what after a little shall be the property of the fire? Divinely and weightily John says "He that loves not his brother is a murderer"
