003:004 Every one who is guilty of sin is also guilty of violating Law;
for sin is the violation of Law.
003:005 And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins;
and in Him there is no sin.
003:006 No one who continues in union with Him lives in sin:
no one who lives in sin has seen Him or knows Him.
003:007 Dear children, let no one lead you astray. The man who acts
righteously is righteous, just as He is righteous.
003:008 He who is habitually guilty of sin is a child of the Devil,
because the Devil has been a sinner from the very beginning.
The Son of God appeared for the purpose of undoing the work
of the Devil.
003:009 No one who is a child of God is habitually guilty of sin.
A God-given germ of life remains in him, and he cannot
habitually sin--because he is a child of God.
003:010 By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children:
no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God,
nor he who does not love his brother man.
003:011 For this is the Message you have heard from the beginning--
that we are to love one another.
003:012 We are not to resemble Cain, who was a child of the Evil
one and killed his own brother. And why did he kill him?
Because his own actions were wicked and his brother's
actions righteous.
003:013 Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.
003:014 As for us, we know that we have already passed out
of death into Life--because we love our brother men.
He who is destitute of love continues dead.
003:015 Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know
that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him.
