By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children: no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God, nor he who does not love his brother man.

If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.

The fact that we love God Himself, and obey His commands, is a proof that we love God's children.

We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.

They are the world's children, and so their language is that of the world, and the world listens to them. We are God's children.
