Beloved, we are now children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when Christ appears , we will be like Him, for we will see Him as He is .

The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed , to destroy the works of the devil .

Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him ; he cannot go on sinning , because he has been born of God.
every one who hath been begotten of God , sin he doth not , because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin , because of God he hath been begotten .
By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil : Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother .
In this manifest are the children of God , and the children of the devil ; every one who is not doing righteousness , is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother ,
This is the message you have heard from the beginning : We should love one another .
because this is the message that ye did hear from the beginning , that we may love one another ,

not as Cain -- of the evil one he was, and he did slay his brother , and wherefore did he slay him? because his works were evil, and those of his brother righteous.
So do not be surprised , brothers , if the world hates you .
Do not wonder , my brethren , if the world doth hate you ;

By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
in this we have known the love , because he for us his life did lay down , and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down ;
If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him , how can the love of God abide in him?
and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?
Little children, let us love not in word and speech , but in action and truth .
My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue , but in word and in truth !

and in this we know that of the truth we are , and before Him we shall assure our hearts ,
Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts , and He knows all things.

and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain , and He in him ; and in this we know that He doth remain in us , from the Spirit that He gave us.
