1John 3:14 We 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.

How could a body part not love other body parts if part does not have a brain in the matter? Well it can't, it is the love of Christ Jesus that compels us to love other body parts, when brothers, and sisters start loving each other by rule of law it has nothing to do with the love of Christ Jesus that true Christian's experience by their new birth, that is, being made part of the body of Christ Jesus.

Here in John's letter he had just spoken about being in Christ Jesus, for us to not sin. In other words, if a Christian's did not stay within the body as a part of the body, but instead used his/her's fleshly brain in not loving another body part by condemning them as the judge of the body, they would not only sin, but judge themselves into death.

But if each person of Christ Jesus body stayed under Christ headship as a slave too other body members, they would receive not only the righteousness of the body, but the love of Christ Jesus that cherishes and feeds each body member. Remain in him, was the command, and he in you; in this manner that will not return a body member to the laws of death, and sin; judging our brother like Cain did Abel and slaughter him by laws of death.
