3:1 See
what
kind
of
love
the
Father
has
given
to
us,
that
we
should
be
called
children
of
God;
and
so
we
are.
The
reason
why
the
world
does
not
know
us
is
that
it
did
not
know
him.
3:2 Beloved,
we
are
God's
children
now,
and
what
we
will
be
has
not
yet
appeared;
but
we
know
that
when
he
appears
we
shall
be
like
him,
because
we
shall
see
him
as
he
is.
3:3 And
everyone
who
thus
hopes
in
him
purifies
himself
as
he
is
pure.
3:4 Everyone
who
makes
a
practice
of
sinning
also
practices
lawlessness;
sin
is
lawlessness.
3:5 You
know
that
he
appeared
to
take
away
sins,
and
in
him
there
is
no
sin.
3:6 No
one
who
abides
in
him
keeps
on
sinning;
no
one
who
keeps
on
sinning
has
either
seen
him
or
known
him.
3:7 Little
children,
let
no
one
deceive
you.
Whoever
practices
righteousness
is
righteous,
as
he
is
righteous.
3:8 Whoever
makes
a
practice
of
sinning
is
of
the
devil,
for
the
devil
has
been
sinning
from
the
beginning.
The
reason
the
Son
of
God
appeared
was
to
destroy
the
works
of
the
devil.
3:9 No
one
born
of
God
makes
a
practice
of
sinning,
for
God's
seed
abides
in
him,
and
he
cannot
keep
on
sinning
because
he
has
been
born
of
God.
3:10 By
this
it
is
evident
who
are
the
children
of
God,
and
who
are
the
children
of
the
devil:
whoever
does
not
practice
righteousness
is
not
of
God,
nor
is
the
one
who
does
not
love
his
brother.
3:11 For
this
is
the
message
that
you
have
heard
from
the
beginning,
that
we
should
love
one
another.
3:12 We
should
not
be
like
Cain,
who
was
of
the
evil
one
and
murdered
his
brother.
And
why
did
he
murder
him
Because
his
own
deeds
were
evil
and
his
brother's
righteous.
3:13 Do
not
be
surprised,
brothers,
that
the
world
hates
you.
3:14 We
know
that
we
have
passed
out
of
death
into
life,
because
we
love
the
brothers.
Whoever
does
not
love
abides
in
death.
3:15 Everyone
who
hates
his
brother
is
a
murderer,
and
you
know
that
no
murderer
has
eternal
life
abiding
in
him.
3:16 By
this
we
know
love,
that
he
laid
down
his
life
for
us,
and
we
ought
to
lay
down
our
lives
for
the
brothers.
3:17 But
if
anyone
has
the
world's
goods
and
sees
his
brother
in
need,
yet
closes
his
heart
against
him,
how
does
God's
love
abide
in
him
3:18 Little
children,
let
us
not
love
in
word
or
talk
but
in
deed
and
in
truth.
3:19 By
this
we
shall
know
that
we
are
of
the
truth
and
reassure
our
heart
before
him;
3:20 for
whenever
our
heart
condemns
us,
God
is
greater
than
our
heart,
and
he
knows
everything.
3:21 Beloved,
if
our
heart
does
not
condemn
us,
we
have
confidence
before
God;
3:22 and
whatever
we
ask
we
receive
from
him,
because
we
keep
his
commandments
and
do
what
pleases
him.
3:23 And
this
is
his
commandment,
that
we
believe
in
the
name
of
his
Son
Jesus
Christ
and
love
one
another,
just
as
he
has
commanded
us.
3:24 Whoever
keeps
his
commandments
abides
in
God,
and
God
in
him.
And
by
this
we
know
that
he
abides
in
us,
by
the
Spirit
whom
he
has
given
us.
