3:1 Living as God’s children

3[ref]Consider the amazing live that the father has given to us in order that we can be called God’s children, and indeed we are. 2Dear friends we are God’s children now, but it’s not yet revealed what we will become. We know that when Yeshua is revealed, we will be similar to him because then we’ll be seeing him exactly as he is. 3Everyone who trusts their future to him needs to purify themself just like he is pure.

4Everyone who regularly sins is demonstrating lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5[ref]You all know that Yeshua was revealed in order to take away sins, and there’s no sin in him. 6Everyone who remains in him doesn’t sin—everyone who keeps sinning has neither really seen Yeshua nor known him.

7So new believers, don’t let anyone deceive you: the person faithfully obeying Yeshua’s teaching will be declared not guilty just as he is not guilty. 8Anyone who regularly sins belongs to the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.

9Everyone who’s been reborn in God, doesn’t regularly sin because God’s seed of life remains in them and that person isn’t able to sin because they have been reborn in God. 10You can distinguish God’s children and the devil’s children like this: everyone who doesn’t faithfully obey Yeshua’s teaching or doesn’t love their fellow believers, that person doesn’t belong to God.

3See what_kind_of love the father has_given to_us, in_order_that we_may_be_called children of_god, and we_are.
Because_of this, the world is_ not _knowing us, because it_ not _knew him.
2Beloved, now we_are children of_god, and was_ not_yet _revealed what we_will_be.
We_have_known that if he_may_be_revealed, we_will_be similar to_him, because we_will_be_seeing him as he_is.
3And everyone which having the this hope in him, is_purifying himself, as that one is pure.
4Everyone which practicing the sin, is_ also _practicing the lawlessness, and the sin is the lawlessness.
5And you_all_have_known that that one was_revealed, in_order_that he_may_take_away the sins, and sin is not in him.
6Everyone which remaining in him is_ not _sinning, everyone which sinning has_ neither _seen him, nor has_known him.
7Little_children, let_ no_one _be_deceiving you_all, the one practicing the righteousness, is righteous, as that one is righteous.
8The one practicing the sin, is of the devil, because the devil is_sinning from the_beginning.
The son of_ the _god was_revealed for this, in_order_that he_may_destroy the works of_the devil.
9Everyone which having_been_born of the god, is_ not _practicing sin, because the_seed of_him is_remaining in him, and he_is_ not _able to_be_sinning, because he_has_been_born of the god.
10The children of_ the _god, and the children of_the devil is manifest in this:
everyone which not practicing righteousness, and the one not loving the brother of_him, is not of the god.

3:11 Demonstrate your love for each other

11[ref]Yes, this is the message that you all heard from the beginning: to be loving each other— 12not living like Cain who belonged to the evil one and went on to murder his brother.[ref] And why did he kill him? Because his own actions were evil, but his brother Abel followed God’s instructions.

13And friends, don’t be surprised if the world hates you. 14[ref]We know that we have transferred from death to life because we are loving our fellow believers. Anyone who doesn’t love others is stuck in death. 15Everyone who hates another person is a murderer, and you all know that murderers don’t have eternal life in them. 16We know about real love because we saw that Yeshua gave up his life for us, and we should give up our lives for our fellow believers. 17But anyone who’s enjoying being alive and notices that a fellow believer is in need yet shuts that other believer’s needs out of their conscience, how can God’s love be living in that person? 18So you new believers, don’t just proclaim that you’re loving people, but actually demonstrate it in actions and in fact. 19That’s how we’ll know that the truth really is in us.

At the same time, we need to tell ourselves 20that if we are feeling condemned, God is greater than our feelings and he knows everything. 21Then dear friends, if we’re not feeling condemned, we have confidence in God 22and confidence that whatever we are requesting from him, we will receive it because we are following his instructions and doing the things that please him. 23[ref]And this is his command: We need to believe in the authority of his son, Yeshua the messiah, and we should love each other as per the command that Yeshua gave to us. 24Anyone who follows his commands is living in him, and he is living in them and we have confirmation that he is living in us, because we have the spirit that he gave to us.


11Because this is the message that you_all_heard from the_beginning, that we_may_be_loving one_another, 12not as Kain/(Qayin) of the evil one was, and slayed the brother of_him.
And for_ what _reason_of he_slayed him?
Because the works of_him was evil, but the ones of_the brother of_him, righteous.
13Not be_marvelling, brothers, if the world is_hating you_all.
14We have_known that we_have_departed from the death to the life, because we_are_loving our brothers.
The one not loving, is_remaining in the death.
15Everyone which hating the brother of_him, is a_murderer, and you_all_have_known that any murderer is_ not _having eternal life remaining in himself.
16By this we_have_known the love, because that one laid the life of_him for us, and we ought to_lay our lives for our brothers.
17But whoever wishfully may_be_having the living of_the world, and may_be_observing the brother of_him having need, and may_shut the heart of_him from him, how is_ The love - of_god _remaining in him?
18Little_children, not may_we_be_loving in_message, nor in_the tongue, but in work and in_truth.
19By this we_will_be_knowing that we_are of the truth, and we_will_be_persuading the hearts of_us before him, 20that if the heart of_us may_be_condemning, that the god is greater than the heart of_us, and he_is_knowing all things.
21Beloved, if our heart may_ not _be_condemning, we_are_having confidence toward the god, 22and whatever if we_may_be_requesting, we_are_receiving from him, because we_are_keeping the commands of_him, and we_are_practicing the pleasing things before him.
23And this is the command of_him, that we_may_be_believe in_the name of_the son of_him, Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) chosen_one/messiah, and we_may_be_loving one_another, as he_gave the_command to_us.
24And the one keeping the commands of_him, is_remaining in him, and he in him.
And by this we_are_knowing that he_is_remaining in us, by the spirit whom he_gave to_us.
