1 John3:10
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: Whosoever doth not righteousness, is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother .
Upon what was said, he reduces all Men each to their own Family and Father, concluding it manifest whither they belonged, i. e. He shews upon the Grounds before expressed, who do not belong to God and his Family, leaving it thence to be collected, since two Fathers and Families divide the World, to which they must be reckoned, i. e. They belong not to God, and consequently to that worst of Fathers, who first in the general do not Righteouness; the Devil being the first Sinner, they are his Descendents: and next, who particularly love not their Brethren, which most expresly demonstrates a Diabolical Nature.
