1 John 3:9-24

9NoG3956 G3756 oneG3956 who has been 1bornG1080 of GodG2316 practicesG4160 sinG266, becauseG3754 His seedG4690 remainsG3306 in him; and he cannotG1410 G3756 sinG264 continually, becauseG3754 he has been bornG1080 of GodG2316. 10By thisG3778 the 2childrenG5043 of GodG2316 and the 3childrenG5043 of the devilG1228 are obviousG5318: 4anyoneG3956 who does not practiceG4160 righteousnessG1343 is not of GodG2316, norG2532 the one who 5does not loveG25 his 6brotherG80 and sister.

11 7For thisG3778 is the messageG31 8whichG3739 you have heardG191 from the beginningG746, 9that we are to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240; 12not as 10CainG2535, who was of 11the evilG4190 oneG4190 and murderedG4969 his brotherG80. And for whatG5101 reasonG5484 did he murderG4969 him? BecauseG3754 12his own deedsG2041 were evilG4190, but his brother’sG80 were righteousG1342.

13Do not beG2296 surprisedG2296, brothersG80 and sisters, ifG1487 13the worldG2889 hatesG3404 you. 14We knowG3609 that we have 14passedG3327 out of deathG2288 into lifeG2222, 15becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brothersG80 and sisters. The one who does not loveG25 remainsG3306 in deathG2288. 15EveryoneG3956 who 16hatesG3404 his brotherG80 or sister is a murdererG443, and you knowG3609 that 17noG3956 G3756 murdererG443 hasG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 remainingG3306 in him. 16We knowG1097 loveG26 by thisG3778, that 18He laidG5087 downG5087 His lifeG5590 for us; and 19we oughtG3784 to layG5087 downG5087 our livesG5590 for the 20brothersG80 and sisters. 17But 21whoeverG3739 G302 hasG2192 worldlyG2889 goodsG979 and seesG2334 his brotherG80 or sister in needG5532, and 22closesG2808 his 23heartG4698 24againstG575 him, 25howG4459 does the loveG26 of GodG2316 remainG3306 in him? 18 26LittleG5040 childrenG5040, let’s not loveG25 with wordG3056 orG3366 with tongueG1100, but in deedG2041 and 27truthG225. 19We will knowG1097 by thisG3778 that we are 28of the truthG225, and will setG3982 our heartG2588 atG3982 easeG3982 beforeG1715 Him, 20that ifG1437 our heartG2588 condemnsG2607 us, that GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than our heartG2588, and He knowsG1097 allG3956 thingsG3956. 21 29BelovedG27, ifG1437 our heartG2588 does not condemnG2607 us, we haveG2192 30confidenceG3954 31beforeG4314 GodG2316; 22and 32whateverG3739 G1437 we askG154, we receiveG2983 from Him, becauseG3754 we 33keepG5083 His commandmentsG1785 and doG4160 34the things that are pleasingG701 inG1799 His sightG1799.

23ThisG3778 is His commandmentG1785, that we 35 36believeG4100 in 37the nameG3686 of His SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, and loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240, justG2531 asG2531 38He 39commandedG1325 G1785 us. 24The one who 40keepsG5083 His commandmentsG1785 41remainsG3306 in Him, and He in him. 42We knowG1097 by thisG3778 that 43He remainsG3306 in us, by the SpiritG4151 whomG3739 He has givenG1325 us.
