Reading for October 23rd

Read 1 John 2.28-4.6 The relationship of the two tests.
2.28-3.24 Ethical test.
2.28-3.10 Who are the children of God?
In verses 2.28-3.3 Little children ... born of him ... children of God:
the believers, like Jesus, see God as father.
When he is revealed, that is, at his coming (see 2.28),
the children will be like the Son (compares 4.17).
In verses 4-10 the letter apparently asserts the sinlessness of believers but
elsewhere calls the claim of sinlessness a lie (1.6-2.2, 6).
Only through the Son o God is freedom from sin possible.
By distinguishing between the children of God and the children of the devil,
the letter provides guidance to judge the believers' moral lives:
Children of the devil neither act morally nor show love for others.
