- 3:2 Dear friends, we are children of God now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he truly is. 26
- 3:3 Everyone whose hope is set on him in this way makes themselves pure, just as he is pure. 14
- 3:22 and whatever we ask, we receive from him, since we are keeping his commands and doing what is pleasing in his sight. 12
- 3:1 Consider the kind of love the Father has given us: we are called children of God, and we really are his children. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 10
- 3:8 Whoever goes on sinning belongs to the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning and has never stopped. This is why the Son of God was revealed: to undo the works of the devil. 10
- 3:9 Whoever has been born of God does not go on sinning, for God's seed remains in them; they are not able to go on sinning, because it is from God that they have been born. 10
- 3:14 We know that we have moved out of death into life, because we love our brothers and sisters. Whoever does not love remains in death. 10
- 3:16 This is how we have come to know what love is: he laid down his life for us. And we in turn owe it to our brothers and sisters to lay down our lives for them. 8
- 3:17 Suppose someone has enough of this world's goods and notices a brother or sister in need, yet shuts their heart against them. How can the love of God remain in such a person? 8
- 3:24 Those who keep his commands remain in God, and God remains in them. We can be sure that he remains in us because of the Spirit he has given us. 8
- 3:4 Everyone who goes on sinning is also practicing lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5
- 3:15 Whoever hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not remain in any murderer. 5
- 3:18 Dear children, let us love not by what we say or with our tongues, but by what we do and in truth. 5
- 3:21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we can approach God boldly, 5
- 3:20 whenever our hearts condemn us: God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 4
- 3:7 Dear children, do not let anyone mislead you: it is the person who practices righteousness who is righteous, just as he is righteous. 3
- 3:13 Do not be astonished, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. 3
- 3:23 This is what God commands: that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, following the command he gave us. 3
- 3:5 You know that he was revealed so that he could take sins away, and he has no sin in him. 2
- 3:6 Whoever remains in him does not go on sinning; whoever goes on sinning has neither seen him nor come to know him. 2
- 3:10 This is how it becomes clear who are God's children and who are the devil's children: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not from God, and neither is anyone who does not love their brother or sister. 2
- 3:11 For the message you heard from the beginning is this: we should love one another. 1
