1John:2:28-3:10
rsv@1John:2:28 @ And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not shrink from him in shame at his coming.
rsv@1John:2:29 @ If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that every one who does right is born of him.
rsv@1John:3:1 @ See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
rsv@1John:3:2 @ Beloved, we are God's children now; it does not yet appear what we shall be, but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.
rsv@1John:3:3 @ And every one who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.
rsv@1John:3:4 @ Every one who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
rsv@1John:3:5 @ You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
rsv@1John:3:6 @ No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him.
rsv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous.
rsv@1John:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
rsv@1John:3:9 @ No one born of God commits sin; for God's nature abides in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God.
rsv@1John:3:10 @ By this it may be seen who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not do right is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother.
