1 John 3

1 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.

See what great love the Father has lavished upon us, that we should be called children of God! The reason the world does not know you is that it did not know him.

2 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.

Beloved, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. But we know that when he appears, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is.

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

Everyone who places this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

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

Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

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

But you know that he appeared in order to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin.

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

No one who abides in him continues in sin; no one who continues in sin has either seen him or known him.

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

Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous.

8 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.

Whoever practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

9 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.

No one who has been born of God continues in sin, because God's seed abides in him; he cannot continue in sin, because he has been born of God.

10 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.

By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

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

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

12 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.

We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own deeds were evil, but the deeds of his brother were righteous.

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

Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

14 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.

We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. Whoever does not love his brother abides in death.

15 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)

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

16 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.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

17 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?

If anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need but closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

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

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

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

By this we know that we are of the truth and can reassure our hearts before him:

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

If our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.

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

Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God

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

and receive from him whatever we ask, because we keep his commandments and do what is pleasing in his sight.

23 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.

And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he commanded.

24 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.

Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God abides in him. And we know that he abides in us because of the Spirit he has given us.
