abiding in him. Hereby we perceive the love of
          God, because he laid down his life for us: and
          we  ought  to  lay  down  our  lives  for  the

          brethren. But whoso has this world's good, and
          sees  his  brother  have  need,  and  shuts  up  his

          another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another,
          even  as  God  for  Christ's  sake  has
          forgiven you.  10 Because now the axe is

          laid to the root of the trees: and every

          tree that does not bring forth good fruit
