We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous.
Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.
Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.
For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.
