Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
