Behold, what manner
of love
the Father
hath bestowed
upon us
, that
we should be called
the sons
of God
: therefore
the world
knoweth
us
not
, because
it knew
him
not
.
Beloved, now
are we
the sons
of God
, and
it doth
not yet
appear
what
we shall be
: but
we know
that
, when
he shall appear
, we shall be
like
him
; for
we shall see
him
as
he is
.
And every man
that hath
this
hope
in
him
purifieth
himself
, even as
he
is
pure
.
Whosoever committeth
sin
transgresseth
also
the law
: for
sin
is
the transgression of the law
.
And ye know
that
he
was manifested
to
take away
our
sins
; and
in
him
is
no
sin
.
Whosoever abideth
in
him
sinneth
not
: whosoever
sinneth
hath
not
seen
him
, neither
known
him
.
Little children, let
no man
deceive
you
: he that doeth
righteousness
is
righteous
, even as
he
is
righteous
.
He that committeth sin
is
of
the devil
; for
the devil
sinneth
from
the beginning
. For
this purpose
the Son
of God
was manifested
, that
he might destroy
the works
of the devil
.
Whosoever is born
of
God
doth
not
commit sin
; for
his
seed
remaineth
in
him
: and
he cannot
sin
, because
he is born
of
God
.
In this
the children
of God
are
manifest
, and
the children
of the devil
: whosoever
doeth
not
righteousness
is
not
of
God
, neither
he that loveth
not
his
brother
.
For this
is
the message
that
ye heard
from
the beginning
, that
we should love
one another
.
Not as
Cain
, who was
of
that wicked one
, and
slew
his
brother
. And
wherefore
slew
he him
? Because
his own
works
were
evil
, and
his
brother's
righteous
.
Marvel not
, my
brethren
, if
the world
hate
you
.
We know that
we
have passed
from
death
unto
life
, because
we love
the brethren
. He that loveth
not
his brother
abideth
in
death
.
Whosoever hateth
his
brother
is
a murderer
: and
ye know
that
no
murderer
hath
eternal
life
abiding
in
him
.
Hereby perceive we
the love
of God , because
he
laid down
his
life
for
us
: and
we
ought
to lay down
our lives
for
the brethren
.
But whoso
hath
this world's
good
, and
seeth
his
brother
have
need
, and
shutteth up
his
bowels
of compassion from
him
, how
dwelleth
the love
of God
in
him
?
My little children
, let us
not
love
in word
, neither
in tongue
; but
in deed
and
in truth
.
And hereby
we know
that
we are
of
the truth
, and
shall assure
our
hearts
before
him
.
For if
our
heart
condemn us
,
God
is
greater
than our
heart
, and
knoweth
all things
.
Beloved, if
our
heart
condemn
us
not
, then have we
confidence
toward
God
.
And whatsoever
we ask
, we receive
of
him
, because
we keep
his
commandments
, and
do
those things that are pleasing
in his
sight
.
And this
is
his
commandment
, That
we should believe
on the name
of his
Son
Jesus
Christ
, and
love
one another
, as
he gave
us
commandment
.
And he that keepeth
his
commandments
dwelleth
in
him
, and
he
in
him
. And
hereby
we know
that
he abideth
in
us
, by
the Spirit
which
he hath given
us
.
