1Jo_03 Listen to this Chapter while you read
1Jo_03_01 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1Jo_03_02 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1Jo_03_03 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1Jo_03_04 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1Jo_03_05 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1Jo_03_06 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1Jo_03_07 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1Jo_03_08 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1Jo_03_09 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jo_03_10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1Jo_03_11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
1Jo_03_12 Not as Cain, [who] was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.
1Jo_03_13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
1Jo_03_14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not [his] brother abideth in death.
1Jo_03_15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
1Jo_03_16 Hereby perceive we the love [of God], because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down [our] lives for the brethren.
1Jo_03_17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels [of compassion] from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
1Jo_03_18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
1Jo_03_19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
1Jo_03_20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
1Jo_03_21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we confidence toward God.
1Jo_03_22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jo_03_23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jo_03_24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
