1John 3:10 In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn't love his brother.

The apostles John continues his thoughts in saying one cannot be righteous without being in Christ Jesus righteousness, and one cannot love their brother without being in God's love, which is Christ Jesus too us.

So in all manner there is no life outside of Christ Jesus, no other teaching by laws of flesh were going to bring life to the body of Christ Jesus and its members. Believing other false teachings about self-goodness through obeying some man, or groups rules were not going to make a person righteous and approved of God, why? Simply put, because no person is righteous in God's judgment of them without Christ, it is only Christ Jesus who is righteous, and it is by God's love we are given the gift of Christ Jesus righteousness.

Subsequently, sending a brother or sister some where else besides Christ to obey rules that are dead works in Christ Jesus, is not love, but hate for them, why? Because the person has two set of scales/two righteousness for judgment, like the Pharisee's that loved the law and judge other harshly by it while not judging themselves in self-righteousness.

The Pharisee's, (before the time or before his death), as are all legal teachers of law, find themselves condemned equally as sinners needing redemption by the innocent blood of animals, they were not righteous without the blood, so they are hypocrites in saying they obey the commandments of God, no human could or did, but Christ Jesus. In fact, the apostasy was happening as John wrote his letter; law Christian's were gaining unrighteous power by having no sacrifice for sin left as they went back to a makeshift legal obligation in serving God.

What sacrifice did they have, their sin remained as the Jews sin remained without the blood of Christ Jesus who completed the law, and its priesthood and sacrifices. They were cursing themselves and those they brought under the yoke of slavery of sin again by law.

Galatians 1:9 As we have said before, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any "good news" other than that which you received, let him be cursed.

Hebrews 6:8 but if it bears thorns and thistles, it is rejected and near being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

1 Peter 2:23 Who, when he was cursed, didn't curse back. When he suffered, didn't threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously;
