1 John 3

1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of YHWH! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

And see how great is the love of the Father toward us, that sons he hath called us, and also made us! Therefore the world doth not know us, because that it hath also not known him.

2 Beloved, now we are children of YHWH; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.

MY beloved, now are we the sons of Aloha; and it is not manifest, as yet, what we are to become, but we know, that when he is manifested, in his likeness we are and see him, according to that which he is.

3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

And every one who hath in him this hope, purifieth himself, as He is pure.

4 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law, for sin is the transgression of the law.

But whoever committeth sin doeth iniquity; for all sin is iniquity.

5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin.

And you know that he was manifested to bear our sins, and sin in him is not.

6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

And every one who in him abideth, sinneth not. And every one who sinneth, hath not seen him, nor known him.

7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

My sons, let no man deceive you: he who worketh righteousness is righteous, as also the Meshiha himself is righteous.

8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of YHWH was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

And he who doeth sin is of Satana, because that from the commencement Satana was a sinner. And for this cause did the Son of Aloha appear, that he might destroy the works of Satana.

9 Whoever has been born of YHWH does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of YHWH.

Every one who is born of Aloha, sin doth not work, because that his seed is in him, and he cannot sin, because of Aloha he is born.

10 In this the children of YHWH and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of YHWH, nor is he who does not love his brother.

In this are distinguished the sons of Aloha from the sons of Satana; every one who doeth not righteousness, nor loveth his brother, is not of Aloha.

11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another,

For this is the commandment which you have heard from before, that you love one another.

12 not as Cain who was of the wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil and his brother's righteous.

Not as Koen, who was from the Evil, and killed his brother. And on what account killed he him? unless that his own works were evil and his brother's righteous.

13 Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you.

Do not wonder, my brethren, if the world hate you.

14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death.

We know that we have passed from death unto life, by this, that we love our brethren. He who loveth not his brother, in death continueth.

15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)

For every one who hateth his brother is a man-killer; and we know that in no man-killer can abide the life which is eternal. (aiōnios g166)

16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

In this we know His love toward us, that he gave himself for us; (so) also it is right for us for the sake of our brethren to give ourselves.

17 But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of YHWH abide in him?

And he who hath the possession of the world, and shall see his brother that he needeth, and shall shut his compassions from him, how is there in him the love of Aloha?

18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

My sons, let us not love one another in words and in tongue, but in works and in truth.

19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

And by this we make known that we are of the truth, and before that he cometh we make confident our hearts.

20 For if our heart condemns us, YHWH is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

And if our heart condemn us, how much (more) Aloha, who is greater than our heart, and knoweth every thing!

21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward YHWH.

My beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have openness of face before Aloha.

22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

And whatever we ask, we shall receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and do the things which are beautiful before him.

23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Yahushua the Messiah and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

And this is his commandment, That we believe in the name of his Son Jeshu Meshiha, and love one another, as he hath commanded us.

24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

And he who keepeth his commandments, is kept by him, and he dwelleth in him: and by this we perceive that he dwelleth in us, by his Spirit whom he hath given to us.
