Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! On account of this the world does not know you, because it did not know Him.
By this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
