9. Whoever has been born of God does not practice sin, for His seed remains in him. And he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Whoever does not live in righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
11. For this is the message that you heard from the beginning: We should love one another,
12. not like Cain, who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s works were righteous.
13. Do not marvel, my brothers, if the world hates you.
14. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love his brother remains in death.
