1 John 3:4-19
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.
