Traités sur l'Épître de Saint Jean aux Parthes
QUATRIÈME TRAITÉ.
DEPUIS LES PAROLES SUIVANTES : « ET ELLE EST LA VÉRITÉ ET NON LE MENSONGE », JUSQU'A CES AUTRES : « ET LE FILS DE DIEU EST VENU DANS LE MONDE POUR DÉTRUIRE LES OEUVRES DU DÉMON ». (Chap. II, 27-29 ; III, 4-8.)
LA FOI, SOURCE DE JUSTICE.
Nous n'avons ni vu ni touché Notre-Seigneur ; mais ceux qui l'ont touché de leurs mains et vu de leurs yeux nous ont dit ce qu'il est, et, l'onction de l'Esprit-Saint aidant, nous avons cru ; et notre foi nous inspirant l'espérance des biens éternels, nous nous efforçons d'accomplir le bien, et, par là, nous devenons enfants de Dieu, parfaits comme Jésus-Christ le juste est parfait, tandis que les méchants restent enfants du démon.

Ten Homilies on the First Epistle of John
Homily IV.
1 John II. 27-III. 8
"And it is true, and lieth not. Even as it hath taught you, abide in it. And now, little children, abide in Him; that, when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be put to shame by Him at His coming. If ye know that He is righteous, know ye that every one that doeth righteousness is born of Him. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called and should be the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew not Him, us also the world knoweth not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it is not yet manifested what we shall be. We know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. And every man that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure. Whosoever committeth sin committeth also iniquity. Sin is iniquity. And ye know that He was manifested to take away sin; and in Him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. Little children, let no man seduce you. He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil."
