Read 1 John 2.28-3.10. In 2.28-4.6: The relationship of the two tests. In 2.28-3.34: Ethical test. In 2.28-3.10: Who are the children of God? In 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 (compare 4.17). In verses 4-10: The letter apparently asserts the sinlessness is a lie (1.6-2.2, 6). Only through the Son of 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 not to show love for others.
