Two Types Of Sons

In hoc manifesti sunt filii Dei et filii diaboli ... Dilectio ergo sola discernit inter filios Dei et filios diaboli. Qui habent charitatem, nati sunt ex Deo. Qui non habent, non sunt nati ex Dei. Quidquid vis habe, hoc solum si non habeas, nihil tibi prodest. Alia si non habeas, hoc habe, et implesti legem. Qui enim diligit proximum, legem implevit. Et plenitudo legis est charitas. Sanctus Beda, In Epistolam Sancti Joannis Source: Migne PL 93 102a

In this are made manifest the sons of God and the sons of the devil... 1 Love alone, therefore, distinguishes between the sons of God and the sons of the devil. They who have charity are born from God. They who do not have it are not born from God. Have whatever you will, if you do not have this, nothing will be of any benefit to you. If you do not have any thing else, have this, and you shall fulfill the law. For he who loves his neighbour, he fulfills the law. And the fullness of the law is charity. 2 Saint Bede,  from the Commentary On The First Letter of Saint John 1 1 Jn 3.10 2 Galat 5.14
