1 John 3

1BeholdG3708, what manner ofG4217 loveG26 the FatherG3588G3962 hath bestowedG1325 upon usG1473, thatG2443 we should be calledG2564 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316: thereforeG1223 the worldG3588G2889 knowethG1097 usG1473 notG3756, becauseG3754 it knewG1097 himG846 notG3756. 2BelovedG27, nowG3568 are weG1510 the sonsG5043 of GodG2316, andG2532 it dothG5319 not yetG3768 appearG5319 whatG5101 we shall beG1510: butG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754, whenG1437 he shall appearG5319, we shall beG1510 likeG3664 himG846; forG3754 we shall seeG3708 himG846 asG2531 he isG1510.

3AndG2532 every manG3956 that hathG2192 thisG3778 hopeG3588G1680 inG1909 himG846 purifiethG48 himselfG1438, even asG2531 heG1565 isG1510 pureG53. 4WhosoeverG3956 committethG4160 sinG3588G266 transgressethG4160 alsoG2532 the lawG3588G458: forG2532 sinG3588G266 isG1510 the transgression of the lawG3588G458. 5AndG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 heG1565 was manifestedG5319 toG2443 take awayG142 ourG1473 sinsG3588G266; andG2532 inG1722 himG846 isG1510 noG3756 sinG266. 6WhosoeverG3956 abidethG3306 inG1722 himG846 sinnethG264 notG3756: whosoeverG3956 sinnethG264 hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 himG846, neitherG3761 knownG1097 himG846. 7Little childrenG5040, letG4105 no manG3367 deceiveG4105 youG4771: he that doethG4160 righteousnessG3588G1343 isG1510 righteousG1342, even asG2531 heG1565 isG1510 righteousG1342. 8He that committethG3588G4160 sinG3588G266 isG1510 ofG1537 the devilG3588G1228; forG3754 the devilG3588G1228 sinnethG264 fromG575 the beginningG746. ForG1519 this purposeG3778 the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316 was manifestedG5319, thatG2443 he might destroyG3089 the worksG3588G2041 of the devilG3588G1228. 9WhosoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316 dothG4160 notG3756 commitG4160 sinG266; forG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 remainethG3306 inG1722 himG846: andG2532 he cannotG1410 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316. 10InG1722 thisG3778 the childrenG3588G5043 of GodG3588G2316 areG1510 manifestG5318, andG2532 the childrenG3588G5043 of the devilG1228: whosoeverG3956 doethG4160 notG3361 righteousnessG1343 isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG3588G2316, neitherG2532 he that lovethG25 notG3361 hisG846 brotherG3588G80.

11ForG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 the messageG3588G31 thatG3739 ye heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746, thatG2443 we should loveG25 one anotherG240. 12NotG3756 asG2531 CainG2535, who wasG1510 ofG1537 that wicked oneG4190, andG2532 slewG4969 hisG846 brotherG3588G80. AndG2532 whereforeG5484 slew heG4969 himG846? BecauseG3754 his ownG846 worksG3588G2041 wereG1510 evilG4190, andG1161 hisG846 brother’sG3588G80 righteousG1342. 13MarvelG2296 notG3361, myG1473 brethrenG80, ifG1487 the worldG3588G2889 hateG3404 youG4771. 14WeG1473 knowG1492 thatG3754 we have passedG3327 fromG1537 deathG3588G2288 untoG1519 lifeG3588G2222, becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brethrenG3588G80. He that lovethG25 notG3361 his brotherG3588G80 abidethG3306 inG1722 deathG3588G2288. 15WhosoeverG3956 hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 isG1510 a murdererG443: andG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 noG3756 murdererG443 hathG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 abidingG3306 inG1722 himG846. 16HerebyG1722 perceive weG1097 the loveG3588G26 of God, becauseG3754 heG1565 laid downG5087 hisG846 lifeG3588G5590 forG5228 usG1473: andG2532 weG1473 oughtG3784 to lay downG5087 our livesG3588G5590 forG5228 the brethrenG3588G80. 17ButG1161 whosoG3739 hathG2192 this world’sG3588G2889 goodG3588G979, andG2532 seethG2334 hisG846 brotherG3588G80 haveG2192 needG5532, andG2532 shutteth upG2808 hisG846 bowelsG3588G4698 of compassion fromG575 himG846, howG4459 dwellethG3306 the loveG3588G26 of GodG3588G2316 inG1722 himG846? 18MyG1473 little childrenG5040, let usG25 notG3361 loveG25 in wordG3056, neitherG3366 in tongueG1100; butG235 in deedG2041 andG2532 in truthG225. 19AndG2532 herebyG1722 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we areG1510 ofG1537 the truthG3588G225, andG2532 shall assureG3982 ourG1473 heartsG3588G2588 beforeG1715 himG846. 20ForG3754 ifG1437 ourG1473 heartG3588G2588 condemn usG2607, GodG3588G2316 isG1510 greater thanG3173 ourG1473 heartG3588G2588, andG2532 knowethG1097 all thingsG3956. 21BelovedG27, ifG1437 ourG1473 heartG3588G2588 condemnG2607 usG1473 notG3361, then have weG2192 confidenceG3954 towardG4314 GodG3588G2316. 22AndG2532 whatsoeverG3739 we askG154, we receiveG2983 ofG3844 himG846, becauseG3754 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG3588G1785, andG2532 doG4160 those things that are pleasingG701 inG1799 hisG846 sightG1799. 23AndG2532 thisG3778 isG1510 hisG846 commandmentG3588G1785, ThatG2443 we should believeG4100 on the nameG3588G3686 of hisG846 SonG3588G5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 loveG25 one anotherG240, asG2531 he gaveG1325 usG1473 commandmentG1785. 24AndG2532 he that keepethG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG3588G1785 dwellethG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 himG846. AndG2532 herebyG1722 we knowG1097 thatG3754 he abidethG3306 inG1722 usG1473, byG1537 the SpiritG3588G4151 whichG3739 he hath givenG1325 usG1473.
