New International Version Help
3How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.G1492G4217G26G3962G1325G2254G2443G2564G5043G2316G1223G5124G2889G1097G2248G3756G3754G1097G846G3756 2Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.G27G3568G2070G5043G2316G2532G5319G3768G5319G5101G2071G1161G1492G3754G1437G5319G2071G3664G846G3754G3700G846G2531G2076 3Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.G2532G3956G2192G5026G1680G1909G846G48G1438G2531G1565G2076G53 4Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.G3956G4160G266G4160G458G2532G458G2532G266G2076G458 5But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.G2532G1492G3754G1565G5319G2443G142G2257G266G2532G1722G846G2076G3756G266 6No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.G3956G3306G1722G846G264G3756G3956G264G3708G3756G3708G846G3761G1097G846 7Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.G5040G4105G3367G4105G5209G4160G1343G2076G1342G2531G1565G2076G1342 8He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work.G4160G266G2076G1537G1228G3754G1228G264G575G746G1519G5124G5207G2316G5319G2443G3089G2041G1228 9No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.G3956G1080G1537G2316G4160G3756G266G3754G846G4690G3306G1722G846G2532G3756G1410G264G3754G1080G1537G2316 10This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.G1722G5129G5043G2316G2076G5318G2532G5043G1228G3956G4160G3361G1343G2076G3756G1537G2316G2532G25G3361G846G80

More on Love and Hatred

11This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another.G3754G3778G2076G31G3739G191G575G746G2443G25G240 12Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.G3756G2531G2535G2258G1537G4190G2532G4969G846G80G2532G5484G5101G4969G846G3754G846G2041G2258G4190G1161G846G80G1342 13Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you.G2296G3361G3450G80G1487G2889G3404G5209 14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.G1492G3754G2249G3327G1537G2288G1519G2222G3754G25G80G25G3361G80G3306G1722G2288 15Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.G3956G3404G846G80G2076G443G2532G1492G3754G3756G3956G443G2192G166G2222G3306G1722G846 16This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.G1722G5129G1097G26G3754G1565G5087G846G5590G5228G2257G2532G2249G3784G5087G5590G5228G80 17If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?G1161G3739G302G2192G2889G979G2532G2334G846G80G2192G5532G2532G2808G846G4698G575G846G4459G3306G26G2316G1722G846 18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.G3450G5040G25G3361G25G3056G3366G1100G235G2041G2532G225 19This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presenceG2532G1722G5129G1097G3754G2070G1537G225G2532G3982G2257G2588G1715G846 20whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.G3754G1437G2257G2588G2607G3754G2316G2076G3187G2257G2588G2532G1097G3956 21Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before GodG27G3362G2257G2588G2607G2257G3362G2192G3954G4314G2316 22and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him.G2532G3739G1437G154G2983G3844G846G3754G5083G846G1785G2532G4160G701G846G1799 23And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.G2532G3778G2076G846G1785G2443G4100G3686G846G5207G2424G5547G2532G25G240G2531G1325G2254G1785 24Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.G2532G5083G846G1785G3306G1722G846G2532G846G1722G846G2532G1722G5129G1097G3754G3306G1722G2254G1537G4151G3739G1325G2254
