unlike 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.

ગુજરાતીયોહાનનો પહેલો પત્ર ૩:૧૨
જેમ કાઈન દુષ્ટનો હતો અને પોતાના ભાઈને મારી નાખ્યો, તેના જેવા આપણે થવું જોઈએ નહિ; તેણે શા માટે તેને મારી નાખ્યો? એ માટે કે તેના કામ ખરાબ હતાં અને તેના ભાઈનાં કામ ન્યાયી હતાં.
हिन्दी1 यूहन्ना ३:१२
और कैन के समान न बनें, जो उस दुष्ट से था, और जिसने अपने भाई की हत्या की। और उसकी हत्या किस कारण की? इसलिए कि उसके काम बुरे थे, और उसके भाई के काम धार्मिक थे। (भज. 38: 20)

In context

10In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.

11For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—

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.
