John 8:40

²⁶I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”

²⁹But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

¹⁶So then, have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

¹²Therefore rejoice, heavens, and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and to the sea, because the devil has gone down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has but a short time.”

¹³When the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.

³⁷I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. ³⁸I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

³²The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.

¹²The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth.

⁴His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.

⁵⁶Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”

¹²unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

¹³Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. ¹⁴We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains in death. ¹⁵Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him.
