See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jn 2:291Pe 1:15-16Rom 2:131Jn 3:31Jn 2:11Jn 2:26Act 10:35Psa 45:7 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil. Heb 2:14Jhn 8:44Col 2:15Jhn 12:31Jhn 16:11Rom 16:202Pe 2:4Eph 2:2 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. 1Jn 5:181Pe 1:23Jhn 1:131Jn 5:11Jn 2:29Mat 7:18Jhn 3:31Jn 5:4 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. 1Jn 4:83Jn 1:111Jn 4:21Jhn 8:44Luk 6:35Mat 13:381Jn 3:7-8Jhn 8:47 For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another— Jhn 15:122Jn 1:51Jn 4:71Jn 4:211Pe 3:8Jhn 13:34-35Eph 5:21Pe 4:8 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. Heb 11:4Gen 4:4-15Pro 29:27Gen 4:25Jud 1:11Luk 11:51Pro 29:10Psa 37:12

My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.
