1 John 3:6-24

6WhoeverG3956 abidethG3306 inG1722 himG846 sinnethG264 notG3756: whoeverG3956 sinnethG264 hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 himG846, neitherG3761 knownG1097 himG846. 7Little childrenG5040, letG4105 no manG3367 deceiveG4105 youG5209: he that doethG4160 righteousnessG1343 isG2076 righteousG1342, even asG2531 heG1565 isG2076 righteousG1342. 8He that committethG4160 sinG266 isG2076 ofG1537 the devilG1228; forG3754 the devilG1228 sinnethG264 fromG575 the beginningG746. ForG1519 this purposeG5124 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 appearedG5319, thatG2443 he might destroyG3089 the worksG2041 of the devilG1228. 9WhoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 dothG4160 notG3756 commit sinG266; forG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 remainethG3306 inG1722 himG846: andG2532 he cannotG3756G1410 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316.1 10InG1722 thisG5129 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316 areG2076 revealedG5318, andG2532 the childrenG5043 of the devilG1228: whoeverG3956 doethG4160 notG3361 righteousnessG1343 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316, neitherG2532 he that lovethG25 notG3361 hisG846 brotherG80.

11ForG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the messageG31 thatG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746, thatG2443 we should loveG25 one anotherG240.2 12NotG3756 asG2531 CainG2535, who wasG2258 ofG1537 that wicked oneG4190, andG2532 killedG4969 hisG846 brotherG80. AndG2532 whyG5484G5101 did he killG4969 himG846? BecauseG3754 his ownG846 worksG2041 wereG2258 evilG4190, andG1161 hisG846 brother’sG80 righteousG1342. 13MarvelG2296 notG3361, myG3450 brethrenG80, ifG1487 the worldG2889 hateG3404 youG5209.

14We knowG1492 thatG3754 weG2249 have passedG3327 fromG1537 deathG2288 toG1519 lifeG2222, becauseG3754 we loveG25 the brethrenG80. He that lovethG25 notG3361 his brotherG80 abidethG3306 inG1722 deathG2288. 15WhoeverG3956 hatethG3404 hisG846 brotherG80 isG2076 a murdererG443: andG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 noG3756G3956 murdererG443 hathG2192 eternalG166 lifeG2222 abidingG3306 inG1722 himG846. 16ByG1722 thisG5129 we perceiveG1097 the loveG26 of God, becauseG3754 heG1565 laid downG5087 hisG846 lifeG5590 forG5228 usG2257: andG2532 weG2249 oughtG3784 to lay downG5087 our livesG5590 forG5228 the brethrenG80. 17ButG1161 he whoG3739G302 hathG2192 this world’sG2889 goodG979, andG2532 seethG2334 hisG846 brotherG80 haveG2192 needG5532, andG2532 shutteth upG2808 hisG846 compassionsG4698 fromG575 himG846, howG4459 dwellethG3306 the loveG26 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846? 18MyG3450 little childrenG5040, let usG25 notG3361 loveG25 in wordG3056, neitherG3366 in tongueG1100; butG235 in deedG2041 andG2532 in truthG225. 19AndG2532 byG1722 thisG5129 we knowG1097 thatG3754 we areG2070 ofG1537 the truthG225, andG2532 shall assureG3982 ourG2257 heartsG2588 beforeG1715 himG846.3

20ForG3754 ifG1437 ourG2257 heartG2588 condemneth usG2607, GodG2316 isG2076 greaterG3187 than ourG2257 heartG2588, andG2532 knowethG1097 all thingsG3956. 21BelovedG27, ifG3362 ourG2257 heartG2588 doth notG3362 condemnG2607 usG2257, then have weG2192 confidenceG3954 towardG4314 GodG2316. 22AndG2532 whateverG3739G1437 we askG154, we receiveG2983 fromG3844 himG846, becauseG3754 we keepG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785, andG2532 doG4160 those things that are pleasingG701 in hisG846 sightG1799.

23AndG2532 thisG3778 isG2076 hisG846 commandmentG1785, ThatG2443 we should believeG4100 on the nameG3686 of hisG846 SonG5207 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, andG2532 loveG25 one anotherG240, asG2531 he gaveG1325 usG2254 commandmentG1785. 24AndG2532 he that keepethG5083 hisG846 commandmentsG1785 dwellethG3306 inG1722 himG846, andG2532 heG846 inG1722 himG846. AndG2532 byG1722 thisG5129 we knowG1097 thatG3754 he abidethG3306 inG1722 usG2254, byG1537 the SpiritG4151 whoG3739 he hath givenG1325 to usG2254.
