See how much the Father has loved us! His love is so great that we are called God's children—and so, in fact, we are. This is why the world does not know us: it has not known God.

My dear friends, we are now God's children, but it is not yet clear what we shall become. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.

Let no one deceive you, my children! Whoever does what is right is righteous, just as Christ is righteous.

Those who are children of God do not continue to sin, for God's very nature is in them; and because God is their Father, they cannot continue to sin.

Here is the clear difference between God's children and the Devil's children: those who do not do what is right or do not love others are not God's children.

My children, our love should not be just words and talk; it must be true love, which shows itself in action.

But you belong to God, my children, and have defeated the false prophets, because the Spirit who is in you is more powerful than the spirit in those who belong to the world.

This is how we know that we love God's children: it is by loving God and obeying his commands.

We know that no children of God keep on sinning, for the Son of God keeps them safe, and the Evil One cannot harm them.

My children, keep yourselves safe from false gods!

From the Elder— To the dear Lady and to her children, whom I truly love. And I am not the only one, but all who know the truth love you,

How happy I was to find that some of your children live in the truth, just as the Father commanded us.

The children of your dear Sister send you their greetings.

Nothing makes me happier than to hear that my children live in the truth.

Those who win the victory will receive this from me: I will be their God, and they will be my children.
