# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Here John teaches believers how they can recognize each other by the way they live; he teaches his readers to love each other.
|
|
|
|
# General Information:
|
|
|
|
Cain and Abel were the first sons of Adam and Eve, the first man and woman.
|
|
|
|
# We should not be like Cain
|
|
|
|
"We should not do as Cain did"
|
|
|
|
# brother
|
|
|
|
This refers to Cain's younger brother Abel.
|
|
|
|
# Why did he kill him? Because
|
|
|
|
John uses a question to teach his audience. This can be translated as a statement. AT: "He killed him because" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# his works were evil and his brother's righteous
|
|
|
|
The words "works were" are also understood in the second phrase. AT: "Cain's works were evil and his brother's works were righteous" or "Cain did evil things and his brother did what was right" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])
