1John:2:28-3:10
dby@1John:2:28 @ And now, children, abide in him, that if he be manifested we may have boldness, and not be put to shame from before him at his coming.
dby@1John:2:29 @ If ye know that he is righteous, know that every one who practises righteousness is begotten of him.
dby@1John:3:1 @ See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.
dby@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
dby@1John:3:3 @ And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
dby@1John:3:4 @ Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
dby@1John:3:5 @ And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.
dby@1John:3:6 @ Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him.
dby@1John:3:7 @ Children, let no man lead you astray; he that practises righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
dby@1John:3:8 @ He that practises sin is of the devil; for from [the] beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.
dby@1John:3:9 @ Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God.
dby@1John:3:10 @ In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness is not of God, and he who does not love his brother.
