1 Everyone who has faith that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God: and everyone who has love for the Father has love for his child.

2 In this way, we are certain that we have love for the children of God, when we have love for God and keep his laws.

3 For loving God is keeping his laws: and his laws are not hard.

4 Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.
