Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action.

We know love by this, that he laid down his life for us—and we ought to lay down our lives for one another.

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

Everyone who commits sin is a child of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.

Those who have been born of God do not sin, because God's seed abides in them; they cannot sin, because they have been born of God.

How does God's love abide in anyone who has the world's goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?

All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.

The children of God and the children of the devil are revealed in this way: all who do not do what is right are not from God, nor are those who do not love their brothers and sisters.

For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

Do not be astonished, brothers and sisters, that the world hates you.
