Every time that we sin, we are born of the devil. But every time that we do good, we are born of God.

What does it mean to have peace? Some say that it means that we should not fall out with one another because of disagreements over the law. But it seems to me that [to be at peace truly] means… that we should stop sinning and not go back to the way we used to live, for that is to make war with God. How is this possible? [Believe that] not only is it possible, it is also reasonable. For if God reconciled us to Himself [through Christ] when we were in open warfare with Him, it is surely reasonable that we should be able to remain in [such] a state of reconciliation [by remaining also in Christ].
