rkjnt 1John:2:28-3:10
rkjnt@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
rkjnt@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does right has been born of him.
rkjnt@1John:3:1 @ Behold, how great is the love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God; and so we are. The world does not know us, because it did not know him.
rkjnt@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, now we are the sons of God; and what we shall be has not yet been disclosed: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
rkjnt@1John:3:3 @ And every man who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.
rkjnt@1John:3:4 @ Whoever commits sin practices lawlessness: for sin is lawlessness.
rkjnt@1John:3:5 @ And you know that he was revealed to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
rkjnt@1John:3:6 @ Whoever abides in him does not sin: no one who sins has either seen him or known him.
rkjnt@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no man deceive you: he who does right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
rkjnt@1John:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
rkjnt@1John:3:9 @ No one who is born of God practices sin; for his seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
rkjnt@1John:3:10 @ By this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.
