1 John 3:2-4

New Century Version

² Dear friends, now we are children of God, and we have not yet been shown what we will be in the future. But we know that when Christ comes again, we will be like him, because we will see him as he really is. ³ Christ is pure, and all who have this hope in Christ keep themselves pure like Christ.

⁴ The person who sins breaks God’s law. Yes, sin is living against God’s law.
