1 John 3

1SeeG3708 what loveG26 the FatherG3962 has givenG1325 to us, that we should beG1510 calledG2564 [the] childrenG5043 of 1GodG2316. For this reason the worldG2889 knowsG1097 us not, because it knewG1097 him not. 2BelovedG27, nowG3568 areG1510 we childrenG5043 of 2GodG2316, and what we shall beG1510 has not yet beenG1510 manifestedG5319; we know that if it isG1510 manifestedG5319 we shall beG1510 like him, for we shall seeG3708 him as he isG1510. 3And every one that has this hopeG1680 in him purifiesG48 himself, evenG2532 as he isG1510 pureG53. 4Every oneG3588 that practises sinG266 practises alsoG2532 lawlessnessG458; and sinG266 isG1510 lawlessnessG458. 5And ye know that he has beenG1510 manifestedG5319 that he might takeG142 awayG142 our sinsG266; and in him sinG266 isG1510 not. 6Whoever abidesG3306 in him, does not sinG264: whoever sinsG264, has not seenG3708 him or knownG1097 him. 7ChildrenG5040, let no manG1342 lead you astrayG4105; he that practises righteousnessG1343 isG1510 righteousG1342, even as he isG1510 righteousG1342. 8He that practises sinG266 isG1510 of the devilG1228; for from [the] beginning the devilG1228 sinsG266. To this end the SonG5207 of 3GodG2316 has beenG1510 manifestedG5319, that he might undo the worksG2041 of the devilG1228. 9Whoever has been begottenG1080 of 4GodG2316 does not practise sinG266, because his seedG4690 abidesG3306 in him, and he cannot sinG266, because he has been begottenG1080 of 5GodG2316. 10In this areG1510 manifest the childrenG5043 of 6GodG2316 and the childrenG5043 of the devilG1228. Whoever does not practise righteousnessG1343 isG1510 not of 7GodG2316, and he who does not loveG25 his brotherG80. 11For this isG1510 the messageG31 which ye have heardG191 from the beginning, that we should loveG25 oneG240 another: 12not as CainG2535 wasG1510 of the wickedG4190 oneG3588, and slew his brotherG80; and on account of what slew he him? because his worksG2041 wereG1510 wickedG4190, and those of his brotherG80 righteousG1342. 13Do not wonderG2296, brethren, if the worldG2889 hateG3404 you. 14We know that we have passed from deathG2288 to lifeG2222, because we loveG25 the brethren. He who does not loveG25 [his] brotherG80 abidesG3306 in deathG2288. 15Every one that hatesG3404 his brotherG80 isG1510 a murdererG443, and ye know that no murdererG443 has eternalG166 lifeG2222 abidingG3306 in him. 16Hereby we have knownG1097 loveG26, because he has laidG5087 downG5087 his lifeG5590 for us; and we oughtG3784 for the brethren to lay downG5087 [our] livesG5590. 17But whoso may have the world's substance, and seeG2334 his brotherG80 having needG5532, and shutG2808 up his bowels from him, howG4459 abidesG3306 the loveG26 of 8GodG2316 in him? 18ChildrenG5040, let us not loveG25 with wordG3056, nor with tongueG1100, but in deedG2041 and in truthG225. 19And hereby we shall knowG1097 that we areG1510 of the truthG225, and shall persuadeG3982 our heartsG2588 before him — 20that if our heartG2588 condemnG2607 us, 9GodG2316 isG1510 greaterG3173 than our heartG2588 and knowsG1097 all thingsG3956. 21BelovedG27, if our heartG2588 condemnG2607 us not, we have boldnessG3954 towards 10GodG2316, 22and whatsoever we askG154 we receiveG2983 from him, because we keepG5083 his commandmentsG1785, and practise the thingsG3739 which are pleasingG701 in his sight. 23And this isG1510 his commandmentG1785, that we believeG4100 on the nameG3686 of his SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and that we loveG25 oneG240 another, evenG2532 as he has givenG1325 us commandmentG1785. 24And he that keepsG5083 his commandmentsG1785 abidesG3306 in him, and he in him. And hereby we knowG1097 that he abidesG3306 in us, by the SpiritG4151 which he has givenG1325 to us.
