1 John 3
1 See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
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.
2 Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
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.
3 and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
And euery man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himselfe, euen as he is pure.
4 Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the Law: for sinne is the transgression of the Lawe.
5 and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
And ye knowe that hee was made manifest, that he might take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne.
6 everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither hath knowen him.
7 Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
Litle children, let no man deceiue you: he that doeth righteousnes, is righteous, as hee is righteous.
8 he who is doing sin, he is of the Devil, because the Devil sins from the beginning; for this [reason] the Son of God appeared, that He may undo the works of the Devil;
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.
9 everyone who has been begotten of God, he does not sin, because His seed remains in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been begotten of God.
Whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: for his seede remaineth in him, neither can hee sinne, because he is borne of God.
10 In this are revealed the children of God, and the children of the Devil; everyone who is not doing righteousness, is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother,
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.
11 because this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we may love one another,
For this is the message, that ye heard from the beginning, that we should loue one another,
12 not as Cain—he was of the evil one, and he slew his brother. And for [what] reason did he slay him? Because his works were evil, and those of his brother [were] righteous.
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.
13 Do not wonder, my brothers, if the world hates you;
Marueile not, my brethren, though this world hate you.
14 we have known that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers; he who is not loving [his] brother remains in death.
We know that we are translated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death.
15 Everyone who is hating his brother is a manslayer, and you have known that no manslayer has continuous life remaining in him; (aiōnios g166)
Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslayer: and ye know that no manslayer hath eternall life abiding in him. (aiōnios g166)
16 in this we have known love, because He laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brothers;
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.
17 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his yearnings from him—how does the love of God remain in him?
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?
18 My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in work and in truth!
My litle children, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue onely, but in deede and in trueth.
19 And in this we know that we are of the truth, and before Him we will assure our hearts,
For thereby we know that we are of the trueth, and shall before him assure our hearts.
20 because if our heart may condemn—because greater is God than our heart, and He knows all things.
For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things.
21 Beloved, if our heart may not condemn us, we have boldness toward God,
Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue we boldnes toward God.
22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commands, and we do the things pleasing before Him,
And whatsoeuer we aske we receiue of him, because we keepe his commandements, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight.
23 and this is His command, that we may believe in the Name of His Son Jesus Christ, and may love one another, even as He gave command to us,
This is then his commandement, That we beleeue in the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another as hee gaue commandement.
24 and he who is keeping His commands, remains in Him, and He in him; and in this we know that He remains in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
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.
