Verse
1 John - ch 3 v 1 - 20
- 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.
- Whoever 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.
- Whoever abideth in him sinneth not: whoever 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.
- Whoever 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: whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
- For this is the message that ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
- Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And why did he slay 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 to life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother, abideth in death.
- Whoever hateth his brother, is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
- By this we perceive the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
- But he who 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 by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
- For if our heart condemneth us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
