<center><big>'''The First Epistle of John the Apostle</big><br/>Chapter 3'''</center>
<center><small>''Of God's love towards us.</small></center>
'''1''' Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God<ref>[[John, Chapter 1|Joh 1:12]]</ref>: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not<ref>[[John, Chapter 15|Joh 15:18]]</ref>.
'''2''' Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be<ref>[[1st Corinthians, Chapter 2|1 Cor 2:9]], [[2nd Corinthians, Chapter 4|2 Cor 4:17]]</ref>: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him<ref>[[Psalm 17|Psa 17:15]], [[Romans, Chapter 8|Rom 8:29]]</ref>; for we shall see him<ref>[[Psalm 16|Psa 16:11]], [[Matthew, Chapter 5|Mat 5:8]], [[1st Corinthians, Chapter 13|1 Cor 13:12]], [[2nd Corinthians, Chapter 5|2 Cor 5:7]]</ref> as he is.
'''3''' And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
'''4''' Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
'''5''' And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins<ref>[[Hebrews, Chapter 1|Heb 1:3]], [[Isaiah, Chapter 53|Isa 53:11]], [[Isaiah, Chapter 53|Isa 53:5-6]]</ref>; and in him is no sin<ref>[[1st Peter, Chapter 2|1 Pet 2:22]], [[Galatians, Chapter 3|Gal 3:13]], [[Isaiah, Chapter 53|Isa 53:9]]</ref>.
'''6''' Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
'''7''' Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous<ref>[[Ezekiel, Chapter 18|Eze 18:5]]</ref>, even as he is righteous.
'''8''' He that committeth sin is of the devil<ref>[[Matthew, Chapter 13|Mat 13:38]]</ref>; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 3|Gen 3:15]], [[Luke, Chapter 10|Luk 10:18]]</ref>.
'''9''' Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him<ref>[[1st John, Chapter 5|1 Joh 5:18]], [[1st Peter, Chapter 1|1 Pet 1:23]]</ref>: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
'''10''' In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
'''11''' For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another<ref>[[John, Chapter 15|Joh 15:12]]</ref>.
'''12''' Not as Cain, ''who'' was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous<ref>[[Genesis, Chapter 4|Gen 4:4-5]]</ref>.
'''13''' Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
'''14''' We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not ''his'' brother abideth in death.
'''15''' Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer<ref>[[Matthew, Chapter 5|Mat 5:21]], [[1st John, Chapter 4|1 Joh 4:20]]</ref>: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him<ref>[[1st Corinthians, Chapter 6|1 Cor 6:9-10]], [[Galatians, Chapter 5|Gal 5:21]], [[Ephesians, Chapter 5|Eph 5:5]], [[1st Timothy, Chapter 1|1 Tim 1:9]], [[Revelation, Chapter 21|Rev 21:8]]</ref>.
'''16''' Hereby perceive we the love ''of God'', because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down ''our'' lives for the brethren<ref>[[Ephesians, Chapter 5|Eph 5:25]], [[Ephesians, Chapter 5|Eph 5:2]], [[Romans, Chapter 5|Rom 5:8]]</ref>.
'''17''' But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need<ref>[[Deuteronomy, Chapter 15|Deu 15:7]], [[Luke, Chapter 3|Luk 3:11]]</ref>, and shutteth up his bowels ''of compassion'' from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
'''18''' My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
'''19''' And hereby we know that we are of the truth<ref>[[John, Chapter 18|Joh 18:37]]</ref>, and shall assure our hearts before him.
'''20''' For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
'''21''' Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, ''then'' have we confidence toward God<ref>[[Job, Chapter 22|Job 22:26]], [[Hebrews, Chapter 10|Heb 10:22]]</ref>.
'''22''' And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him<ref>[[Psalm 34|Psa 34:15]], [[Matthew, Chapter 21|Mat 21:22]], [[Mark, Chapter 11|Mar 11:24]]</ref>, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight<ref>[[John, Chapter 8|Joh 8:29]]</ref>.
'''23''' And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
'''24''' And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him<ref>[[John, Chapter 17|Joh 17:21]]</ref>, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us<ref>[[Ezekiel, Chapter 37|Eze 37:27]]</ref>, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
