1JO-3:1 Behold, what manner
of love the Father hath bestowed upon
us, that we should be called
the sons of God: therefore the world
knoweth us not, because it
knew him not.
1JO-3:2 Beloved, now are we
the sons of God, and it doth not yet
appear what we shall be: but
we know that, when he shall appear, we
shall be like him; for we
shall see him as he is.
1JO-3:3 And every man that
hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.
1JO-3:4 Whosoever committeth
sin transgresseth also the law: for
sin is the transgression of
the law.
1JO-3:5 And ye know that he
was manifested to take away our sins;
and in him is no sin.
1JO-3:6 Whosoever abideth in
him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth
hath not seen him, neither
known him.
1JO-3:7 Little children, let
no man deceive you: he that doeth
righteousness is righteous,
even as he is righteous.
1JO-3:8 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.
1JO-3:9 Whosoever is born of
God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he
cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1JO-3:10 In this the
children of God are manifest, and the children
of the devil: whosoever doeth
not righteousness is not of God,
neither he that loveth not
his brother.
1JO-3:11 For this is the
message that ye heard from the beginning,
that we should love one
another.
1JO-3:12 Not as Cain, [who]
was of that wicked one, and slew his
brother. And wherefore slew
he him? Because his own works were evil,
and his brother's righteous.
1JO-3:13 Marvel not, my
brethren, if the world hate you.
1JO-3:14 We know that we
have passed from death unto life, because
we love the brethren. He that
loveth not [his] brother abideth in
death.
1JO-3:15 Whosoever hateth
his brother is a murderer: and ye know
that no murderer hath eternal
life abiding in him.
1JO-3:16 Hereby perceive we
the love [of God], because he laid down
his life for us: and we ought
to lay down [our] lives for the
brethren.
1JO-3:17 But whoso hath this
world's good, and seeth his brother
have need, and shutteth up
his bowels [of compassion] from him, how
dwelleth the love of God in
him?
1JO-3:18 My little children,
let us not love in word, neither in
tongue; but in deed and in
truth.
1JO-3:19 And hereby we know
that we are of the truth, and shall
assure our hearts before him.
1JO-3:20 For if our heart
condemn us, God is greater than our
heart, and knoweth all things.
1JO-3:21 Beloved, if our
heart condemn us not, [then] have we
confidence toward God.
1JO-3:22 And whatsoever we
ask, we receive of him, because we keep
his commandments, and do
those things that are pleasing in his
sight.
1JO-3:23 And this is his
commandment, That we should believe on the
name of his Son Jesus Christ,
and love one another, as he gave us
commandment.
1JO-3:24 And he that keepeth
his commandments dwelleth in him, and
he in him. And hereby we know
that he abideth in us, by the Spirit
which he hath given us.
