ULT 1YHN Chapter 3

3 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God, and we are.[fn] For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever he appears, we will be like him because we will see him just as he is. 3 And everyone having this hope upon him purifies himself, just as that one is pure. 4 Everyone committing sin also commits lawlessness. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that that one appeared so that he might take away sins, and sin is not in him. 6 Everyone remaining in him does not sin. Everyone sinning has not seen him and has not known him. 7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. The one doing righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous. 8 The one committing sin is from the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God appeared, so that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Everyone having been begotten from God does not commit sin, because his seed remains in him. And he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten from God. 10 In this the children of God and the children of the devil are apparent: Everyone not doing righteousness is not from God, and the one not loving his brother. 11 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, 12 not like Cain, who was from the evil one and killed his brother. And on account of what did he kill him? Because his works were evil, but those of his brother, righteous.

13 Do not be amazed, brothers, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have relocated from death into life, because we love the brothers. The one not loving remains in death. 15 Everyone hating his brother is a murderer, and you know that every murderer does not have eternal life remaining in him. 16 In this we have known love, that that one laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But whoever has the possessions of the world and sees his brother having need and closes his entrails from him, how does the love of God remain in him? 18 Little children, let us not love in word nor in tongue, but in deed and truth. 19 In this we will know that we are from the truth and we will persuade our hearts before him, 20 that if our heart condemns us, that God is greater than our heart and knows everything. 21 Beloved, if the heart does not condemn, we have confidence toward God 22 and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and we do the pleasing things before him. 23 And this is his commandment: that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another just as he gave us a commandment. 24 And the one keeping his commandments remains in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he remains in us, from the Spirit whom he gave to us.
