3:1 See ye what love the Father hath given to us, that children of God we may be called; because of this the world doth not know us, because it did not know Him;
3:2 beloved, now, children of God are we, and it was not yet manifested what we shall be, and we have known that if he may be manifested, like him we shall be, because we shall see him as he is;
3:3 and every one who is having this hope on him, doth purify himself, even as he is pure.
3:8 he who is doing the sin, of the devil he is, because from the beginning the devil doth sin; for this was the Son of God manifested, that he may break up the works of the devil;
3:9 every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten.
3:14 we -- we have known that we have passed out of the death to the life, because we love the brethren; he who is not loving the brother doth remain in the death.
3:15 Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age- during in him remaining,
3:16 in this we have known the love, because he for us his life did lay down, and we ought for the brethren the lives to lay down;
3:17 and whoever may have the goods of the world, and may view his brother having need, and may shut up his bowels from him -- how doth the love of God remain in him?
3:22 and whatever we may ask, we receive from Him, because His commands we keep, and the things pleasing before Him we do,
3:23 and this is His command, that we may believe in the name of His Son JesusChrist, and may love one another, even as He did give command to us,
3:24 and he who is keeping His commands, in Him he doth remain, and He in him; and in this we know that He doth remain in us, from the Spirit that He gave us.
