1 John 3:1-20

3:1

Behold
<1492> (5628)_,

what manner
<4217>

of love
<26>

the Father
<3962>

hath bestowed
<1325> (5758)

upon us
<2254>_,

that
<2443>

we should be called
<2564> (5686)

the sons
<5043>

of God
<2316>_:

therefore
<1223> <5124>

the world
<2889>

knoweth
<1097> (5719)

us
<2248>

not
<3756>_,

because
<3754>

it knew
<1097> (5627)

him
<846>

not
<3756>_.

3:2

Beloved
<27>_,

now
<3568>

are we
<2070> (5748)

the sons
<5043>

of God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

it doth
<5319> (0)

not yet
<3768>

appear
<5319> (5681)

what
<5101>

we shall be
<2071> (5704)_:

but
<1161>

we know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>_,

when
<1437>

he shall appear
<5319> (5686)_,

we shall be
<2071> (5704)

like
<3664>

him
<846>_;

for
<3754>

we shall see
<3700> (5695)

him
<846>

as
<2531>

he is
<2076> (5748)_.

3:3

And
<2532>

every man
<3956>

that hath
<2192> (5723)

this
<5026>

hope
<1680>

in
<1909>

him
<846>

purifieth
<48> (5719)

himself
<1438>_,

even as
<2531>

he
<1565>

is
<2076> (5748)

pure
<53>_.

3:4

Whosoever
<3956>

committeth
<4160> (5723)

sin
<266>

transgresseth
<4160> (5719) <458> (0)

also
<2532>

the law
<458>_:

for
<2532>

sin
<266>

is
<2076> (5748)

the transgression of the law
<458>_.

3:5

And
<2532>

ye know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

he
<1565>

was manifested
<5319> (5681)

to
<2443>

take away
<142> (5661)

our
<2257>

sins
<266>_;

and
<2532>

in
<1722>

him
<846>

is
<2076> (5748)

no
<3756>

sin
<266>_.

3:6

Whosoever
<3956>

abideth
<3306> (5723)

in
<1722>

him
<846>

sinneth
<264> (5719)

not
<3756>_:

whosoever
<3956>

sinneth
<264> (5723)

hath
<3708> (0)

not
<3756>

seen
<3708> (5758)

him
<846>_,

neither
<3761>

known
<1097> (5758)

him
<846>_.

3:7

Little children
<5040>_,

let
<4105> (0)

no man
<3367>

deceive
<4105> (5720)

you
<5209>_:

he that doeth
<4160> (5723)

righteousness
<1343>

is
<2076> (5748)

righteous
<1342>_,

even as
<2531>

he
<1565>

is
<2076> (5748)

righteous
<1342>_.

3:8

He that committeth
<4160> (5723)

sin
<266>

is
<2076> (5748)

of
<1537>

the devil
<1228>_;

for
<3754>

the devil
<1228>

sinneth
<264> (5719)

from
<575>

the beginning
<746>_.

For
<1519>

this purpose
<5124>

the Son
<5207>

of God
<2316>

was manifested
<5319> (5681)_,

that
<2443>

he might destroy
<3089> (5661)

the works
<2041>

of the devil
<1228>_.

3:9

Whosoever
<3956>

is born
<1080> (5772)

of
<1537>

God
<2316>

doth
<4160> (5719)

not
<3756>

commit sin
<266>_;

for
<3754>

his
<846>

seed
<4690>

remaineth
<3306> (5719)

in
<1722>

him
<846>_:

and
<2532>

he cannot
<3756> <1410> (5736)

sin
<264> (5721)_,

because
<3754>

he is born
<1080> (5769)

of
<1537>

God
<2316>_.

{is born: or, has been born}

3:10

In
<1722>

this
<5129>

the children
<5043>

of God
<2316>

are
<2076> (5748)

manifest
<5318>_,

and
<2532>

the children
<5043>

of the devil
<1228>_:

whosoever
<3956>

doeth
<4160> (5723)

not
<3361>

righteousness
<1343>

is
<2076> (5748)

not
<3756>

of
<1537>

God
<2316>_,

neither
<2532>

he that loveth
<25> (5723)

not
<3361>

his
<846>

brother
<80>_.

3:11

For
<3754>

this
<3778>

is
<2076> (5748)

the message
<31>

that
<3739>

ye heard
<191> (5656)

from
<575>

the beginning
<746>_,

that
<2443>

we should love
<25> (5725)

one another
<240>_.

{message: or, commandment}

3:12

Not
<3756>

as
<2531>

Cain
<2535>_,

[who] was
<2258> (5713)

of
<1537>

that wicked one
<4190>_,

and
<2532>

slew
<4969> (5656)

his
<846>

brother
<80>_.

And
<2532>

wherefore
<5484> <5101>

slew
<4969> (5656)

he him
<846>_?

Because
<3754>

his own
<846>

works
<2041>

were
<2258> (5713)

evil
<4190>_,

and
<1161>

his
<846>

brother's
<80>

righteous
<1342>_.

3:13

Marvel
<2296> (5720)

not
<3361>_,

my
<3450>

brethren
<80>_,

if
<1487>

the world
<2889>

hate
<3404> (5719)

you
<5209>_.

3:14

We know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

we
<2249>

have passed
<3327> (5758)

from
<1537>

death
<2288>

unto
<1519>

life
<2222>_,

because
<3754>

we love
<25> (5719)

the brethren
<80>_.

He that loveth
<25> (5723)

not
<3361>

[his] brother
<80>

abideth
<3306> (5719)

in
<1722>

death
<2288>_.

3:15

Whosoever
<3956>

hateth
<3404> (5723)

his
<846>

brother
<80>

is
<2076> (5748)

a murderer
<443>_:

and
<2532>

ye know
<1492> (5758)

that
<3754>

no
<3756> <3956>

murderer
<443>

hath
<2192> (5719)

eternal
<166>

life
<2222>

abiding
<3306> (5723)

in
<1722>

him
<846>_.

3:16

Hereby
<1722> <5129>

perceive we
<1097> (5758)

the love
<26>

[of God], because
<3754>

he
<1565>

laid down
<5087> (5656)

his
<846>

life
<5590>

for
<5228>

us
<2257>_:

and
<2532>

we
<2249>

ought
<3784> (5719)

to lay down
<5087> (5721)

[our] lives
<5590>

for
<5228>

the brethren
<80>_.

3:17

But
<1161>

whoso
<3739> <302>

hath
<2192> (5725)

this world's
<2889>

good
<979>_,

and
<2532>

seeth
<2334> (5725)

his
<846>

brother
<80>

have
<2192> (5723)

need
<5532>_,

and
<2532>

shutteth up
<2808> (5661)

his
<846>

bowels
<4698>

[of compassion] from
<575>

him
<846>_,

how
<4459>

dwelleth
<3306> (5719)

the love
<26>

of God
<2316>

in
<1722>

him
<846>_?

3:18

My
<3450>

little children
<5040>_,

let us
<25> (0)

not
<3361>

love
<25> (5725)

in word
<3056>_,

neither
<3366>

in tongue
<1100>_;

but
<235>

in deed
<2041>

and
<2532>

in truth
<225>_.

3:19

And
<2532>

hereby
<1722> <5129>

we know
<1097> (5719)

that
<3754>

we are
<2070> (5748)

of
<1537>

the truth
<225>_,

and
<2532>

shall assure
<3982> (5692)

our
<2257>

hearts
<2588>

before
<1715>

him
<846>_.

{assure: Gr. persuade}

3:20

For
<3754>

if
<1437>

our
<2257>

heart
<2588>

condemn us
<2607> (5725)_,

<3754>

God
<2316>

is
<2076> (5748)

greater
<3187>

than our
<2257>

heart
<2588>_,

and
<2532>

knoweth
<1097> (5719)

all things
<3956>_.
