Children, let no one deceive you. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

This is how God’s children and the devil’s children become obvious. Whoever does not do what is right is not of God, especially the one who does not love his brother or sister.

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

You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

This is how we know that we love God’s children: when we love God and obey his commands.

Little children, guard yourselves from idols.

I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, in keeping with a command we have received from the Father.

The children of your elect sister send you greetings.

I have no greater joy than this: to hear that my children are walking in truth.

I will strike her children dead.
