And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, then we know that we have the requests that we have asked from him.

We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

We know that we have crossed over from death to life because we love our fellow Christians. The one who does not love remains in death.

Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever it is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is.

We know that everyone fathered by God does not sin, but God protects the one he has fathered, and the evil one cannot touch him.

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us insight to know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This one is the true God and eternal life.
