1 John 3

1 Behold, what loue the Father hath giuen to vs, that we should be called the sonnes of God: for this cause this world knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him.

Behold what love has given to us the Father, that children of God we may be called — (and we are! *NO*) Because of this the world not knows (us, *NK(O)*) because not it knew Him.

2 Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shalbe made manifest, we shalbe like him: for we shall see him as he is.

Beloved, now children of God are we, and not yet has been revealed what we will be; We know (now *k*) that when He shall appear, like Him we will be, for we will behold Him even as He is.

3 And euery man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himselfe, euen as he is pure.

And everyone who is having hope this in Him purifies himself even as He pure is.

4 Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the Law: for sinne is the transgression of the Lawe.

Everyone who is committing sin also lawlessness commits, and sin is lawlessness.

5 And ye knowe that hee was made manifest, that he might take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne.

And you know that He appeared so that the sins (of us *K*) He may take away, and sin in Him not there is.

6 Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither hath knowen him.

Anyone in Him abiding not sins; anyone who is sinning not has seen Him nor has he known Him.

7 Litle children, let no man deceiue you: he that doeth righteousnes, is righteous, as hee is righteous.

(little children, *NK(o)*) no one should lead astray you; who are practicing righteousness righteous is even as He righteous is.

8 He that comitteth sinne, is of the deuil: for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose was made manifest that Sonne of God, that he might loose the workes of the deuil.

The [one] practicing sin of the devil is, because from [the] beginning the devil has been sinning. For this [reason] was revealed the Son of God so that He may destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: for his seede remaineth in him, neither can hee sinne, because he is borne of God.

Anyone who born of God sin not practices, because seed of Him in him abides; and not he is able to continue sinning, because of God he has been born.

10 In this are the children of God knowen, and the children of the deuil: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother.

Through this manifest are the children of God and the children of the devil. Anyone not practicing righteousness not is of God, and also the [one] not loving the brother of him;

11 For this is the message, that ye heard from the beginning, that we should loue one another,

For this is the message that you have heard from [the] beginning that we may love one another;

12 Not as Cain which was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe he him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers good.

not even as Cain [who] of the evil [one] was and he slew the brother of him; And because of what he slayed him? Because the works of him evil were, those however of the brother of him righteous.

13 Marueile not, my brethren, though this world hate you.

(And *n*) not do be surprised, brothers (of mine *K*) if hates you the world.

14 We know that we are translated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death.

We ourselves know that we have passed from death to life, because we love [our] brothers; The [one] not loving (the brother *K*) abides in death.

15 Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslayer: and ye know that no manslayer hath eternall life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)

Everyone who is hating the brother of him a murderer is; and you know that any murderer not has life eternal in (him *NK(o)*) abiding. (aiōnios g166)

16 Hereby haue we perceiued loue, that he layde downe his life for vs: therefore we ought also to lay downe our liues for the brethren.

By this we have known love because He for us the life of Him laid down; and we ourselves ought for [our] brothers [our] lives (to lay down. *N(k)O*)

17 And whosoeuer hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from him, howe dwelleth the loue of God in him?

Who[ever] now maybe may have the goods of the world and may see the brother of him need having and he may close up the heart of him from him, how the love of God abides in him?

18 My litle children, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue onely, but in deede and in trueth.

Little children (of mine *K*) not we may love in word nor in tongue but in action and in truth.

19 For thereby we know that we are of the trueth, and shall before him assure our hearts.

And by this (we will know *N(k)O*) that of the truth we are and before Him we will assure (heart *N(k)O*) of us,

20 For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.

that if shall condemn [us] our heart, that greater than is the God of the heart of us and He knows all things.

21 Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue we boldnes toward God.

Beloved, if the heart of us not shall condemn (us *ko*) confidence we have toward God,

22 And whatsoeuer we aske we receiue of him, because we keepe his commandements, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.

and whatever (maybe *NK(o)*) we shall ask we receive (from *N(k)O*) Him, because the commandments of Him we keep and the [things] pleasing before Him we do.

23 This is then his commandement, That we beleeue in the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another as hee gaue commandement.

And this is the commandment of Him that (we may believe *NK(o)*) in the name of the Son of Him Jesus Christ and we may love one another even as He gave [the] commandment to us.

24 For hee that keepeth his commandements, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby we knowe that hee abideth in vs, euen by that Spirit which he hath giuen vs.

And the [one] keeping the commandments of Him in Him abides, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom to us He has given.
