Os filhos de Deus
3 Vede quão grande amor nos tem concedido o Pai: que fôssemos chamados filhos de Deus. Por isso, o mundo não nos conhece, porque não conhece a ele. 2 Amados, agora somos filhos de Deus, e ainda não é manifesto o que havemos de ser. Mas sabemos que, quando ele se manifestar, seremos semelhantes a ele; porque assim como é o veremos. 3 E qualquer que nele tem esta esperança purifica-se a si mesmo, como também ele é puro. 4 Qualquer que pratica o pecado também pratica iniquidade, porque o pecado é iniquidade. 5 E bem sabeis que ele se manifestou para tirar os nossos pecados; e nele não há pecado. 6 Qualquer que permanece nele não vive pecando; qualquer que vive pecando não o viu nem o conheceu.
7 Filhinhos, ninguém vos engane. Quem pratica justiça é justo, assim como ele é justo. 8 Quem pratica o pecado é do diabo, porque o diabo vive pecando desde o princípio. Para isto o Filho de Deus se manifestou: para desfazer as obras do diabo. 9 Qualquer que é nascido de Deus não vive na prática do pecado; porque a sua semente permanece nele; e não pode viver pecando, porque é nascido de Deus. 10 Nisto são manifestos os filhos de Deus e os filhos do diabo: qualquer que não pratica a justiça e não ama a seu irmão não é de Deus.
11 Porque esta é a mensagem que ouvistes desde o princípio: que nos amemos uns aos outros. 12 Não como Caim, que era do maligno e matou a seu irmão. E por que causa o matou? Porque as suas obras eram más, e as de seu irmão, justas.
13 Meus irmãos, não vos maravilheis, se o mundo vos aborrece. 14 Nós sabemos que passamos da morte para a vida, porque amamos os irmãos; quem não ama a seu irmão permanece na morte. 15 Qualquer que aborrece a seu irmão é homicida. E vós sabeis que nenhum homicida tem permanente nele a vida eterna. 16 Conhecemos o amor nisto: que ele deu a sua vida por nós, e nós devemos dar a vida pelos irmãos. 17 Quem, pois, tiver bens do mundo e, vendo o seu irmão necessitado, lhe cerrar o seu coração, como estará nele o amor de Deus? 18 Meus filhinhos, não amemos de palavra, nem de língua, mas por obra e em verdade.
19 E nisto conhecemos que somos da verdade e diante dele asseguraremos nosso coração; 20 sabendo que, se o nosso coração nos condena, maior é Deus do que o nosso coração e conhece todas as coisas. 21 Amados, se o nosso coração nos não condena, temos confiança para com Deus; 22 e qualquer coisa que lhe pedirmos, dele a receberemos, porque guardamos os seus mandamentos e fazemos o que é agradável à sua vista. 23 E o seu mandamento é este: que creiamos no nome de seu Filho Jesus Cristo e nos amemos uns aos outros, segundo o seu mandamento. 24 E aquele que guarda os seus mandamentos nele está, e ele nele. E nisto conhecemos que ele está em nós: pelo Espírito que nos tem dado.
1 John 3
King James Version
3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him 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; and in him is no sin.
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, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; 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.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: 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.
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.
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: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
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.
17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, 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, 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.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
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, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
1 John 3
English Standard Version
3 See (A)what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called (B)children of God; and so we are. The reason why (C)the world does not know us is that (D)it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are (E)God's children (F)now, and what we will be (G)has not yet appeared; but we know that (H)when he appears[a] (I)we shall be like him, because (J)we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who (K)thus hopes in him (L)purifies himself as he is pure.
4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; (M)sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that (N)he appeared in order to (O)take away sins, and (P)in him there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; (Q)no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, (R)let no one deceive you. (S)Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 (T)Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was (U)to destroy the works of the devil. 9 (V)No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's[b] seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, (W)nor is the one who (X)does not love his brother.
Love One Another
11 For (Y)this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, (Z)that we should love one another. 12 We should not be like (AA)Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? (AB)Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, brothers,[c] (AC)that the world hates you. 14 We know that (AD)we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 (AE)Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that (AF)no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
16 By this we know love, that (AG)he laid down his life for us, and (AH)we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But (AI)if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet (AJ)closes his heart against him, (AK)how does God's love abide in him? 18 Little children, let us not (AL)love in word or talk but in deed and (AM)in truth.
19 By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; 20 for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. 21 Beloved, (AN)if our heart does not condemn us, (AO)we have confidence before God; 22 and (AP)whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and (AQ)do what pleases him. 23 And this is his commandment, (AR)that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and (AS)love one another, (AT)just as he has commanded us. 24 (AU)Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God,[d] and God[e] in him. And (AV)by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.
