Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God: and {cf15i such} we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. |
2
|
Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is. |
3
|
And every one that hath this hope {cf15i set} on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. |
4
|
Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness: and sin is lawlessness. |
5
|
And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. |
6
|
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him. |
7
|
{cf15i My} little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: |
8
|
he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. |
9
|
Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. |
10
|
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. |
11
|
For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: |
12
|
not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother-s righteous. |
13
|
Marvel not, brethren, if the world hateth you. |
14
|
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. |
15
|
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. |
16
|
Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. |
17
|
But whoso hath the world-s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? |
18
|
{cf15i My} little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth. |
19
|
Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him, |
20
|
whereinsoever our heart condemn us; because God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. |
21
|
Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; |
22
|
and whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. |
23
|
And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment. |
24
|
And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us. |
