Children of God Love One Another
See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.
And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
And all who have this eager expectation will keep themselves pure, just as he is pure.
Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.
You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.
No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.
Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is.
Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous;
Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.
the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.
For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;
Love One Another
This is the message you have heard from the beginning: We should love one another.
not as Cain, who was of the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s were righteous.
We must not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because Cain had been doing what was evil, and his brother had been doing what was righteous.
Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.
We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love abides in death.
Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?
Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.
Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions.
We will know by this that we are of the truth, and will assure our heart before Him
Our actions will show that we belong to the truth, so we will be confident when we stand before God.
in whatever our heart condemns us; for God is greater than our heart and knows all things.
Even if we feel guilty, God is greater than our feelings, and he knows everything.
Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
Dear friends, if we don’t feel guilty, we can come to God with bold confidence.
and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.
And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.
This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.
And this is his commandment: We must believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as he commanded us.
