1 John 3
:1
3:1
1Behold what manner of
2alove the
3Father has given to us, that we should be called
4bchildren of God; and we are.
5Because of this the world does not
6know us,
7because it did not
cknow Him.
1 John 3
:2
3:2
Beloved, now we are children of God, and
1it has not yet been manifested what we will be. We
2know that if
3He is
amanifested, we will be
blike Him because we will
4csee Him even as
3He is.
1 John 3
:3
3:3
And everyone who has
1this ahope set on Him
2bpurifies himself, even as
3cHe is pure.
1 John 3
:4
3:4
Everyone who
1apractices sin practices
2lawlessness also, and
bsin is lawlessness.
1 John 3
:5
3:5
And you know that He was
amanifested that He might
1take away
bsins; and sin is not in
2Him.
1 John 3
:6
3:6
Everyone who
1aabides in Him
2bdoes not sin; everyone who
3sins 4has cnot seen Him or
dknown Him.
1 John 3
:7
3:7
1Little children, let no one
2alead you astray; he who
3bpractices righteousness is
4crighteous, even as He is
drighteous;
1 John 3
:8
3:8
He who
1apractices sin is of the
2bdevil, because the devil has sinned
3from the beginning.
4For this purpose the Son of God was
cmanifested, that He might
5ddestroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3
:9
3:9
Everyone who has been
1begotten of God does
2not practice sin, because His
3aseed babides in him; and he
4cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.
B.
To practice the divine love
3:10b—5:3
1.
By the divine life (as the divine seed) and the divine Spirit
3:10b-24
1 John 3
:10
3:10
1In this the
achildren of God and the
bchildren of the devil are manifest. Everyone who does not
cpractice righteousness is not of God, neither he who
ddoes not
2love his brother.
1 John 3
:11
3:11
For this is the
1message which you
aheard 2from the beginning, that we should
3blove one another,
1 John 3
:12
3:12
Not as
aCain was
1of the
2bevil one and
cslew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's,
drighteous.
1 John 3
:13
3:13
Do not marvel, brothers, if the
1world ahates you.
1 John 3
:14
3:14
We know that we have
apassed out of
1death into life because we
blove the brothers. He who
cdoes 2not love abides in death.
1 John 3
:15
3:15
Everyone who
1ahates his brother is a
2bmurderer, and you know that no murderer has
ceternal life abiding in him.
1 John 3
:16
3:16
In this we know love, that
aHe blaid down His
1life on our behalf, and we ought to
clay down our
2lives on behalf of the brothers.
1 John 3
:17
3:17
But whoever has the livelihood of the world and sees that his brother has
aneed and
bshuts up his
1affections from him, how does the
2clove of God abide in him?
1 John 3
:18
3:18
1Little children, let us not
alove in word nor in tongue but in
2deed and
3btruthfulness.
1 John 3
:19
3:19
And in this we will know that we are of the
1truth, and we will
2persuade our heart before Him,
1 John 3
:20
3:20
Because if our
1heart ablames us, it is because God is
bgreater than our heart and
cknows all things.
1 John 3
:21
3:21
Beloved, if our
aheart does not blame
us, we have
1bboldness ctoward God;
1 John 3
:22
3:22
And 1whatever we
aask we receive from Him because we
2bkeep His commandments and
3do the things that are
cpleasing in His sight.
1 John 3
:23
3:23
And this is His
1acommandment, that we
bbelieve in the name of His Son Jesus Christ and
clove one another, even as He gave a commandment to us.
1 John 3
:24
3:24
And he who
akeeps His commandments
1babides cin Him, and
2He in him. And in this we know that He abides in us,
3by the
4dSpirit whom He gave to us.
