NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

1 John 3

Children of God Love One Another

1

Seeg3708  1 ahowg4217 greatg4217 a loveg26 the Fatherg3962 has bestowedg1325 on us, that we would be calledg2564  bchildreng5043 of Godg2316; and such we are. For thisg3778 reasong1223 the worldg2889 does not knowg1097 us, becauseg3754  cit did not knowg1097 Him.

2

 aBelovedg27, nowg3568 we are  bchildreng5043 of Godg2316, and  cit has not appearedg5319 as yetg3768 whatg5101 we will be. We knowg3609a that wheng1437 He  dappearsg5319, we will be  elikeg3664 Him, becauseg3754 we will  fseeg3708 Him justg2531a as He is.

3

And everyoneg3956 who hasg2192 thisg3778  ahopeg1680 fixed on Him  bpurifiesg48 himselfg1438, justg2531a as He is pureg53.

4

Everyoneg3956 who practicesg4160 sing266 alsog2532 practicesg4160 lawlessnessg458; and  asing266 is lawlessnessg458.

5

You knowg3609a that He  aappearedg5319 in orderg2443 to  btakeg142 awayg142 sinsg266; and  cin Him there is nog3756 sing266.

6

Nog3956g3756 oneg3956 who abidesg3306 in Him  asinsg264; nog3956g3756 oneg3956 who sinsg264 has seeng3708 Him org3761  1 bknowsg1097 Him.

7

 aLittleg5040 childreng5040, make sure nog3367 oneg3367  bdeceivesg4105 you;  cthe one who practicesg4160 righteousnessg1343 is righteousg1342, justg2531a as He is righteousg1342;

8

the one who practicesg4160 sing266 is  aof the devilg1228; for the devilg1228  1has sinnedg264 from the beginningg746.  bThe Song5207 of Godg2316  cappearedg5319 for thisg3778 purpose,  dto destroyg3089 the worksg2041 of the devilg1228.

9

Nog3956g3756 oneg3956 who is  1 aborng1080 of Godg2316  bpracticesg4160 sing266, becauseg3754 His seedg4690 abidesg3306 in him; and he cannotg1410g3756 sing264, becauseg3754 he is  1borng1080 of Godg2316.

10

By thisg3778 the  achildreng5043 of Godg2316 and the  bchildreng5043 of the devilg1228 are obviousg5318:  1anyoneg3956 who does not practiceg4160 righteousnessg1343 is not of Godg2316, norg2532 the one who  cdoes not loveg25 his  dbrotherg80.

11

 aFor thisg3778 is the messageg31a  bwhichg3739 you have heardg191 from the beginningg746,  cthat we should loveg25 oneg240 anotherg240;

12

not as  aCaing2535, who was of  bthe evilg4190 oneg4190 and slewg4969 his brotherg80. And for whatg5101 reasong5484 did he slayg4969 him? Becauseg3754  chis deedsg2041 were evilg4190, and his brother'sg80 were righteousg1342.

13

Do not be surprisedg2296, brethreng80, ifg1487  athe worldg2889 hatesg3404 you.

14

We knowg3609a that we have  apassedg3327 out of deathg2288 into lifeg2222,  bbecauseg3754 we loveg25 the brethreng80. He who does not loveg25 abidesg3306 in deathg2288.

15

Everyoneg3956 who  ahatesg3404 his brotherg80 is a murdererg443; and you knowg3609a that  bnog3956g3756 murdererg443 hasg2192 eternalg166 lifeg2222 abidingg3306 in him.

16

We knowg1097 loveg26 by thisg3778, that  aHe laidg5087 downg5087 His lifeg5590 for us; and  bwe oughtg3784 to layg5087 downg5087 our livesg5590 for the  cbrethreng80.

17

But  awhoeverg3739g302 hasg2192 the world'sg2889 goodsg979, and seesg2334 his brotherg80 in needg5532 and  bclosesg2808 his  1heartg4698  2againstg575 him,  chowg4459 does the loveg26 of Godg2316 abideg3306 in him?

18

 aLittleg5040 childreng5040, let us not loveg25 with wordg3056 org3366 with tongueg1100, but in deedg2041 and  btruthg225.

19

We will knowg1097 by thisg3778 that we are  aof the truthg225, and will  1assureg3982 our heartg2588 beforeg1715 Him

20

 1in whateverg3739g5100g1437 our heartg2588 condemnsg2607 us; for Godg2316 is greaterg3173 than our heartg2588 and knowsg1097 allg3956 thingsg3956.

21

 aBelovedg27, ifg1437 our heartg2588 does not condemng2607 us, we haveg2192  bconfidenceg3954  1beforeg4314 Godg2316;

22

and  awhateverg3739g1437 we askg154 we receiveg2983 from Him, becauseg3754 we  bkeepg5083 His commandmentsg1785 and dog4160  cthe things that are pleasingg701 in His sightg1799.

23

Thisg3778 is His commandmentg1785, that we  1 abelieveg4100 in  bthe nameg3686 of His Song5207 Jesusg2424 Christg5547, and loveg25 oneg240 anotherg240, justg2531a as  cHe  2commandedg1325g1785 us.

24

The one who  akeepsg5083 His commandmentsg1785  babidesg3306 in Him, and He in him.  cWe knowg1097 by thisg3778 that  dHe abidesg3306 in us, by the Spiritg4151 whomg3739 He has giveng1325 us.
