ASV_Strong : 1 John 3
1. Behold[G1492] what manner of[G4217] love[G26] the Father[G3962] hath bestowed[G1325] upon us[G2254], that[G2443] we should be called[G2564] children[G5043] of God[G2316]; and such we are[G1223]. For this cause[G5124] the world[G2889] knoweth[G1097] us[G2248] not[G3756], because[G3754] it knew[G1097] him[G846] not[G3756].
2. Beloved[G27], now[G3568] are we[G2070] children[G5043] of God[G2316], and[G2532] it is[G5319] not yet[G3768] made manifest[G5319] what[G5101] we shall be[G2071]. We[G1161] know[G1492] that[G3754], if[G1437] he shall be manifested[G5319], we shall be[G2071] like[G3664] him[G846]; for[G3754] we shall see[G3700] him[G846] even as[G2531] he is[G2076].
3. And[G2532] every one[G3956] that hath[G2192] this[G3778] hope[G1680] set on[G1909] him[G846] purifieth[G48] himself[G1438], even as[G2531] he[G1565] is[G2076] pure[G53].
4. Every one[G3956] that doeth[G4160] sin[G266] doeth[G4160] also[G2532] lawlessness[G4160]; and[G2532] sin[G266] is[G2076] lawlessness[G458].
5. And[G2532] ye know[G1492] that[G3754] he[G1565] was manifested[G5319] to[G2443] take away[G142, 2257] sins[G266]; and[G2532] in[G1722] him[G846] is[G2076] no[G3756] sin[G266].
6. Whosoever[G3956] abideth[G3306] in[G1722] him[G846] sinneth[G264] not[G3756]: whosoever[G3956] sinneth[G264] hath[G3708] not[G3756] seen[G3708] him[G846], neither[G3761] knoweth[G1097] him[G846].
7. My little children[G5040], let[G4105] no man[G3367] lead you[G5209] astray[G1565]: he that doeth[G4160] righteousness[G1343] is[G2076] righteous[G1342], even as[G2531] he[G1565] is[G2076] righteous[G1342]:
8. he that doeth[G4160] sin[G266] is[G2076] of[G1537] the devil[G1228]; for[G3754] the devil[G1228] sinneth[G264] from[G575] the beginning[G746]. To[G1519] this end[G5124] was the Son[G5207] of God[G2316] manifested[G5319], that[G2443] he might destroy[G3089] the works[G2041] of the devil[G1228].
9. Whosoever[G3956] is begotten[G1080] of[G1537] God[G2316] doeth[G4160] no[G3756, 4160] sin[G266], because[G3754] his[G846] seed[G4690] abideth[G3306] in[G1722] him[G846]: and[G2532] he cannot[G1410, 3756] sin[G264], because[G3754] he is begotten[G1080] of[G1537] God[G2316].
10. In[G1722] this[G5129] the children[G5043] of God[G2316] are[G2076] manifest[G5318], and[G2532] the children[G5043] of the devil[G1228]: whosoever[G3956] doeth[G4160] not[G3361] righteousness[G1343] is[G2076] not[G3756] of[G1537] God[G2316], neither[G2532] he that loveth[G25] not[G3361] his[G846] brother[G80].
11. For[G3754] this[G3778] is[G2076] the message[G31] which[G3739] ye heard[G191] from[G575] the beginning[G746], that[G2443] we should love[G25] one another[G240]:
12. not[G3756] as[G2531] Cain[G2535] was[G2258] of[G1537] the evil one[G4190], and[G2532] slew[G4969] his[G846] brother[G80]. And[G2532] wherefore[G5484, Acts1] slew he[G4969] him[G846]? Because[G3754] his[G846] works[G2041] were[G2258] evil[G4190], and[G1161] his[G846] brother[G80]'s righteous[G1342].
13. Marvel[G2296] not[G3361], [G3450] brethren[G80], if[G1487] the world[G2889] hateth[G3404] you[G5209].
14. We[G2249] know[G1492] that[G3754] we have passed[G3327] out[G1537] of death[G2288] into[G1519] life[G2222], because[G3754] we love[G25] the brethren[G80]. He that loveth[G25] not[G3361, Ruth] abideth[G3306] in[G1722] death[G2288].
15. Whosoever[G3956] hateth[G3404] his[G846] brother[G80] is[G2076] a[G3956] murderer[G443]: and[G2532] ye know[G1492] that[G3754] no[G3756] murderer[G443] hath[G2192] eternal[G166] life[G2222] abiding[G3306] in[G1722] him[G846].
16. Hereby[G1722, 5129] know we[G1097] love[G26], [G2316] because[G3754] he[G1565] laid down[G5087] his[G846] life[G5590] for[G5228] us[G2257]: and[G2532] we[G2249] ought[G3784] to lay down[G5087] our lives[G5590] for[G5228] the brethren[G80].
17. But[G1161] whoso[G3739, Leviticus2] hath[G2192] the world[G2889]'s goods[G979], and[G2532] beholdeth[G2334] his[G846] brother[G80] in[G2192] need[G5532], and[G2532] shutteth up[G2808] his[G846] compassion[G4698] from[G575] him[G846], how[G4459] doth the love[G26] of God[G2316] abide[G3306] in[G1722] him[G846]?
18. My[G3450] Little children[G5040], let us[G25] not[G3361] love[G25] in word[G3056], neither[G3366] with the tongue[G1100]; but[G235] in deed[G2041] and[G2532] truth[G225].
19. [G2532] Hereby[G1722, 5129] shall we know[G1097] that[G3754] we are[G2070] of[G1537] the truth[G225], and[G2532] shall assure[G3982] our[G2257] heart[G2588] before[G1715] him[G846]:
20. because[G3754] if[G1437] our[G2257] heart[G2588, 3754] condemn us[G2607], God[G2316] is[G2076] greater than[G3187] our[G2257] heart[G2588], and[G2532] knoweth[G1097] all things[G3956].
21. Beloved[G27], if[G1437] our[G2257] heart[G2588] condemn[G2607] us[G2257] not[G3361], we[G2192] have boldness[G3954] toward[G4314] God[G2316];
22. and[G2532] whatsoever[G3739, 1437] we ask[G154] we receive[G2983] of[G3844] him[G846], because[G3754] we keep[G5083] his[G846] commandments[G1785] and[G2532] do[G4160] the things that are pleasing[G701] in[G1799] his[G846] sight[G1799].
23. And[G2532] this[G3778] is[G2076] his[G846] commandment[G1785], that[G2443] we should believe[G4100] in the name[G3686] of his[G846] Son[G5207] Jesus[G2424] Christ[G5547], and[G2532] love[G25] one another[G240], even as[G2531] he gave[G1325] us[G2254] commandment[G1785].
24. And[G2532] he that keepeth[G5083] his[G846] commandments[G1785] abideth[G3306] in[G1722] him[G846], and[G2532] he[G846] in[G1722] him[G846]. And[G2532] hereby[G1722, 5129] we know[G1097] that[G3754] he abideth[G3306] in[G1722] us[G2254], by[G1537] the Spirit[G4151] which[G3739] he gave[G1325] us[G2254].
