1 John 3

1 See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know 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 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just 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 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

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

4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

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

5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

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 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.

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

7 Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he 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 who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.

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 Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him, and he can’t sin, because he is born 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 the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love 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 which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another—

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

12 unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

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 Don’t be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.

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

14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn’t love his brother remains 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 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining 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 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

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 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain 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 little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

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

19 And by this we know that we are of the truth and persuade our hearts before him,

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 because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows 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 Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

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

22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that 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 his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded.

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 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us.

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.
