He declares the singular love of God toward us, in making us his sons;3. who therefore ought obediently to keep his commandments; 11. as also to love one another as brothers. Verses 4-12. - Sin is absolutely incompatible with Christ's work of redemption and our union with him (verses 4-8), and also with being born of God, as is shown by the presence or absence of brotherly love (verses 9-12). Verse 4. - Once more the apostle turns from the positive to the negative. Having shown what birth from God involves, he goes on to show what it excludes.
