¹⁰ 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,

⁸ he who is not loving did not know God, because God is love.

¹¹ Beloved, be not thou following that which is evil, but that which is good; he who is doing good, of God he is, and he who is doing evil hath not seen God;

²¹ and this `is' the command we have from Him, that he who is loving God, may also love his brother.

⁶ we -- of God we are; he who is knowing God doth hear us; he who is not of God, doth not hear us; from this we know the spirit of the truth, and the spirit of the error.

³ and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.

⁴ Ye -- of God ye are, little children, and ye have overcome them; because greater is He who `is' in you, than he who is in the world.

⁴⁴ `Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.

³⁵ `But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again, and your reward will be great, and ye shall be sons of the Highest, because He is kind unto the ungracious and evil;

³⁸ and the field is the world, and the good seed, these are the sons of the reign, and the darnel are the sons of the evil one,

² in this we know that we love the children of God, when we may love God, and His commands may keep;

⁷ Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing the righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous,

⁸ he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;

²⁹ if ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every one doing the righteousness, of him hath been begotten.

⁹ he who is saying, in the light he is, and his brother is hating, in the darkness he is till now;

¹⁰ he who is loving his brother, in the light he doth remain, and a stumbling-block in him there is not;

¹ Become, then, followers of God, as children beloved,

¹⁶ The Spirit himself doth testify with our spirit, that we are children of God;

¹⁷ and if children, also heirs, heirs, indeed, of God, and heirs together of Christ -- if, indeed, we suffer together, that we may also be glorified together.

¹⁰ said, `O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

⁴⁷ he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

¹⁹ we have known that of God we are, and the whole world in the evil doth lie;

¹⁴ we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.

¹⁵ Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining,
