1 John 3:1-7

1. 1 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.

2. 2 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.

3. 3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

4. 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

6. 6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

7. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
