Holman Christian Standard Bible Help
3Look at how great a love the Father has given us, that we should be called God's children. And we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn't know Him.G1492G4217G26G3962G1325G2254G2443G2564G5043G2316G1223G5124G2889G1097G2248G3756G3754G1097G846G3756
2Dear friends, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is.G27G3568G2070G5043G2316G2532G5319G3768G5319G5101G2071G1161G1492G3754G1437G5319G2071G3664G846G3754G3700G846G2531G2076
3And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure.G2532G3956G2192G5026G1680G1909G846G48G1438G2531G1565G2076G53
4Everyone who commits sin also breaks the law; sin is the breaking of law.G3956G4160G266G4160G458G2532G458G2532G266G2076G458
5You know that He was revealed so that He might take away sins, and there is no sin in Him.G2532G1492G3754G1565G5319G2443G142G2257G266G2532G1722G846G2076G3756G266
6Everyone who remains in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him.G3956G3306G1722G846G264G3756G3956G264G3708G3756G3708G846G3761G1097G846
7Little children, let no one deceive you! The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous.G5040G4105G3367G4105G5209G4160G1343G2076G1342G2531G1565G2076G1342
8The one who commits sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the Devil's works.G4160G266G2076G1537G1228G3754G1228G264G575G746G1519G5124G5207G2316G5319G2443G3089G2041G1228
9Everyone who has been born of God does not sin, because His seed remains in him; he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.G3956G1080G1537G2316G4160G3756G266G3754G846G4690G3306G1722G846G2532G3756G1410G264G3754G1080G1537G2316

The Command to Love

10This is how God's children— and the Devil's children— are made evident. Whoever does not do what is right is not of God, especially the one who does not love his brother.G1722G5129G5043G2316G2076G5318G2532G5043G1228G3956G4160G3361G1343G2076G3756G1537G2316G2532G25G3361G846G80
11For this is the message you have heard from the beginning: we should love one another,G3754G3778G2076G31G3739G191G575G746G2443G25G240
12unlike Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's were righteous.G3756G2531G2535G2258G1537G4190G2532G4969G846G80G2532G5484G5101G4969G846G3754G846G2041G2258G4190G1161G846G80G1342
13Do not be surprised, brothers, if the world hates you.G2296G3361G3450G80G1487G2889G3404G5209
14We know that we have passed from death to life because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death.G1492G3754G2249G3327G1537G2288G1519G2222G3754G25G80G25G3361G80G3306G1722G2288
15Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.G3956G3404G846G80G2076G443G2532G1492G3754G3756G3956G443G2192G166G2222G3306G1722G846

Love in Action

16This is how we have come to know love: He laid down His life for us. We should also lay down our lives for our brothers.G1722G5129G1097G26G3754G1565G5087G846G5590G5228G2257G2532G2249G3784G5087G5590G5228G80
17If anyone has this world's goods and sees his brother in need but shuts off his compassion from him— how can God's love reside in him?G1161G3739G302G2192G2889G979G2532G2334G846G80G2192G5532G2532G2808G846G4698G575G846G4459G3306G26G2316G1722G846
18Little children, we must not love in word or speech, but in deed and truth;G3450G5040G25G3361G25G3056G3366G1100G235G2041G2532G225
19that is how we will know we are of the truth, and will convince our hearts in His presence,G2532G1722G5129G1097G3754G2070G1537G225G2532G3982G2257G2588G1715G846
20because if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.G3754G1437G2257G2588G2607G3754G2316G2076G3187G2257G2588G2532G1097G3956
21Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn [us] we have confidence before God,G27G3362G2257G2588G2607G2257G3362G2192G3954G4314G2316
22and can receive whatever we ask from Him because we keep His commands and do what is pleasing in His sight.G2532G3739G1437G154G2983G3844G846G3754G5083G846G1785G2532G4160G701G846G1799
23Now this is His command: that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another as He commanded us.G2532G3778G2076G846G1785G2443G4100G3686G846G5207G2424G5547G2532G25G240G2531G1325G2254G1785
24The one who keeps His commands remains in Him, and He in him. And the way we know that He remains in us is from the Spirit He has given us.G2532G5083G846G1785G3306G1722G846G2532G846G1722G846G2532G1722G5129G1097G3754G3306G1722G2254G1537G4151G3739G1325G2254
