By this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.
World English Bible (WEB)
In{G1722} this{G5129} the children{G5043} of God{G2316} are{G2076}{(G5748)} manifest{G5318}, and{G2532} the children{G5043} of the devil{G1228}: whosoever{G3956} doeth{G4160}{(G5723)} not{G3361} righteousness{G1343} is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} of{G1537} God{G2316}, neither{G2532} he that loveth{G25}{(G5723)} not{G3361} his{G846} brother{G80}.
KJV with Strongs
In this, the children of the Elohim and the children of the Slanderer are evident. Everyone who is not practising righteousness is not of the Elohim, nor is anyone who does not continually love (agape) their brother.
The F.O.G
[10] This is how we can clearly distinguish between God's children and the devil's children: anyone who doesn't practice righteousness doesn't belong to God, nor does anyone who doesn't love their fellow believers. It's like spiritual DNA testing revealing true family connections. This is how we can identify who the children of Yahweh, and the children of the Accuser, are: Anyone who is not living righteously does not belong to Yahweh, and anyone who harbors hatred toward a fellow believer does not belong to Him.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
In this manifest are the children of God, and the children of the devil; every one who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
