3:1 | Behold <1492> (5628), what manner <4217> of love <26> the Father <3962> hath bestowed <1325> (5758) upon us <2254>, that <2443> we should be called <2564> (5686) the sons <5043> of God <2316>: therefore <1223> <5124> the world <2889> knoweth <1097> (5719) us <2248> not <3756>, because <3754> it knew <1097> (5627) him <846> not <3756>. |
3:2 | Beloved <27>, now <3568> are we <2070> (5748) the sons <5043> of God <2316>, and <2532> it doth <5319> (0) not yet <3768> appear <5319> (5681) what <5101> we shall be <2071> (5704): but <1161> we know <1492> (5758) that <3754>, when <1437> he shall appear <5319> (5686), we shall be <2071> (5704) like <3664> him <846>; for <3754> we shall see <3700> (5695) him <846> as <2531> he is <2076> (5748). |
3:3 | And <2532> every man <3956> that hath <2192> (5723) this <5026> hope <1680> in <1909> him <846> purifieth <48> (5719) himself <1438>, even as <2531> he <1565> is <2076> (5748) pure <53>. |
3:4 | Whosoever <3956> committeth <4160> (5723) sin <266> transgresseth <4160> (5719) <458> (0) also <2532> the law <458>: for <2532> sin <266> is <2076> (5748) the transgression of the law <458>. |
3:5 | And <2532> ye know <1492> (5758) that <3754> he <1565> was manifested <5319> (5681) to <2443> take away <142> (5661) our <2257> sins <266>; and <2532> in <1722> him <846> is <2076> (5748) no <3756> sin <266>. |
3:6 | Whosoever <3956> abideth <3306> (5723) in <1722> him <846> sinneth <264> (5719) not <3756>: whosoever <3956> sinneth <264> (5723) hath <3708> (0) not <3756> seen <3708> (5758) him <846>, neither <3761> known <1097> (5758) him <846>. |
3:7 | Little children <5040>, let <4105> (0) no man <3367> deceive <4105> (5720) you <5209>: he that doeth <4160> (5723) righteousness <1343> is <2076> (5748) righteous <1342>, even as <2531> he <1565> is <2076> (5748) righteous <1342>. |
3:8 | He that committeth <4160> (5723) sin <266> is <2076> (5748) of <1537> the devil <1228>; for <3754> the devil <1228> sinneth <264> (5719) from <575> the beginning <746>. For <1519> this purpose <5124> the Son <5207> of God <2316> was manifested <5319> (5681), that <2443> he might destroy <3089> (5661) the works <2041> of the devil <1228>. |
3:9 | Whosoever <3956> is born <1080> (5772) of <1537> God <2316> doth <4160> (5719) not <3756> commit sin <266>; for <3754> his <846> seed <4690> remaineth <3306> (5719) in <1722> him <846>: and <2532> he cannot <3756> <1410> (5736) sin <264> (5721), because <3754> he is born <1080> (5769) of <1537> God <2316>. {is born: or, has been born} |
3:10 | In <1722> this <5129> the children <5043> of God <2316> are <2076> (5748) manifest <5318>, and <2532> the children <5043> of the devil <1228>: whosoever <3956> doeth <4160> (5723) not <3361> righteousness <1343> is <2076> (5748) not <3756> of <1537> God <2316>, neither <2532> he that loveth <25> (5723) not <3361> his <846> brother <80>. |
3:11 | For <3754> this <3778> is <2076> (5748) the message <31> that <3739> ye heard <191> (5656) from <575> the beginning <746>, that <2443> we should love <25> (5725) one another <240>. {message: or, commandment} |
3:12 | Not <3756> as <2531> Cain <2535>, [who] was <2258> (5713) of <1537> that wicked one <4190>, and <2532> slew <4969> (5656) his <846> brother <80>. And <2532> wherefore <5484> <5101> slew <4969> (5656) he him <846>? Because <3754> his own <846> works <2041> were <2258> (5713) evil <4190>, and <1161> his <846> brother's <80> righteous <1342>. |
3:13 | Marvel <2296> (5720) not <3361>, my <3450> brethren <80>, if <1487> the world <2889> hate <3404> (5719) you <5209>. |
3:14 | We know <1492> (5758) that <3754> we <2249> have passed <3327> (5758) from <1537> death <2288> unto <1519> life <2222>, because <3754> we love <25> (5719) the brethren <80>. He that loveth <25> (5723) not <3361> [his] brother <80> abideth <3306> (5719) in <1722> death <2288>. |
3:15 | Whosoever <3956> hateth <3404> (5723) his <846> brother <80> is <2076> (5748) a murderer <443>: and <2532> ye know <1492> (5758) that <3754> no <3756> <3956> murderer <443> hath <2192> (5719) eternal <166> life <2222> abiding <3306> (5723) in <1722> him <846>. |
3:16 | Hereby <1722> <5129> perceive we <1097> (5758) the love <26> [of God], because <3754> he <1565> laid down <5087> (5656) his <846> life <5590> for <5228> us <2257>: and <2532> we <2249> ought <3784> (5719) to lay down <5087> (5721) [our] lives <5590> for <5228> the brethren <80>. |
3:17 | But <1161> whoso <3739> <302> hath <2192> (5725) this world's <2889> good <979>, and <2532> seeth <2334> (5725) his <846> brother <80> have <2192> (5723) need <5532>, and <2532> shutteth up <2808> (5661) his <846> bowels <4698> [of compassion] from <575> him <846>, how <4459> dwelleth <3306> (5719) the love <26> of God <2316> in <1722> him <846>? |
3:18 | My <3450> little children <5040>, let us <25> (0) not <3361> love <25> (5725) in word <3056>, neither <3366> in tongue <1100>; but <235> in deed <2041> and <2532> in truth <225>. |
3:19 | And <2532> hereby <1722> <5129> we know <1097> (5719) that <3754> we are <2070> (5748) of <1537> the truth <225>, and <2532> shall assure <3982> (5692) our <2257> hearts <2588> before <1715> him <846>. {assure: Gr. persuade} |
3:20 | For <3754> if <1437> our <2257> heart <2588> condemn us <2607> (5725), <3754> God <2316> is <2076> (5748) greater <3187> than our <2257> heart <2588>, and <2532> knoweth <1097> (5719) all things <3956>. |
3:21 | Beloved <27>, if <3362> (0) our <2257> heart <2588> condemn <2607> (5725) us <2257> not <3362>, [then] have we <2192> (5719) confidence <3954> toward <4314> God <2316>. |
3:22 | And <2532> whatsoever <3739> <1437> we ask <154> (5725), we receive <2983> (5719) of <3844> him <846>, because <3754> we keep <5083> (5719) his <846> commandments <1785>, and <2532> do <4160> (5719) those things that are pleasing <701> in his <846> sight <1799>. |
3:23 | And <2532> this <3778> is <2076> (5748) his <846> commandment <1785>, That <2443> we should believe <4100> (5661) on the name <3686> of his <846> Son <5207> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, and <2532> love <25> (5725) one another <240>, as <2531> he gave <1325> (5656) us <2254> commandment <1785>. |
3:24 | And <2532> he that keepeth <5083> (5723) his <846> commandments <1785> dwelleth <3306> (5719) in <1722> him <846>, and <2532> he <846> in <1722> him <846>. And <2532> hereby <1722> <5129> we know <1097> (5719) that <3754> he abideth <3306> (5719) in <1722> us <2254>, by <1537> the Spirit <4151> which <3739> he hath given <1325> (5656) us <2254>. |
