Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.
1 John 3:10
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
1 John 3:11
For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—
1 John 3:12
unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
