9. Those born from God don’t practice sin because God’s DNA remains in them. They can’t sin because they are born from God.
10. This is how God’s children and the devil’s children are apparent: everyone who doesn’t practice righteousness is not from God, including the person who doesn’t love a brother or sister.
11. This is the message that you heard from the beginning: love each other.
12. Don’t behave like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he kill him? He killed him because his own works were evil, but the works of his brother were righteous.
13. Don’t be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.
14. We know that we have transferred from death to life, because we love the brothers and sisters. The person who does not love remains in death.
