Remaining until Jesus appears
28 And now, little children, remain in relationship to Jesus, so that when he appears we can have confidence and not be ashamed in front of him when he comes. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you also know that every person who practices righteousness is born from him.
3 See what kind of love the Father has given to us in that we should be called God’s children, and that is what we are! Because the world didn’t recognize him, it doesn’t recognize us.
2 Dear friends, now we are God’s children, and it hasn’t yet appeared what we will be. We know that when he appears we will be like him because we’ll see him as he is. 3 And all who have this hope in him purify themselves even as he is pure. 4 Every person who practices sin commits an act of rebellion, and sin is rebellion. 5 You know that he appeared to take away sins, and there is no sin in him. 6 Every person who remains in relationship to him does not sin. Any person who sins has not seen him or known him.
Practicing sin or righteousness
7 Little children, make sure no one deceives you. The person who practices righteousness is righteous, in the same way that Jesus is righteous. 8 The person who practices sin belongs to the devil, because the devil has been sinning since the beginning. God’s Son appeared for this purpose: to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Those born from God don’t practice sin because God’s DNA[a] remains in them. They can’t sin because they are born from God. 10 This is how God’s children and the devil’s children are apparent: everyone who doesn’t practice righteousness is not from God, including the person who doesn’t love a brother or sister. 11 This is the message that you heard from the beginning: love each other. 12 Don’t behave like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he kill him? He killed him because his own works were evil, but the works of his brother were righteous.

God’s Children and Sin
28 And now, dear children,(A) continue in him, so that when he appears(B) we may be confident(C) and unashamed before him at his coming.(D)
29 If you know that he is righteous,(E) you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.(F)
3 See what great love(G) the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!(H) And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.(I) 2 Dear friends,(J) now we are children of God,(K) and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a](L) we shall be like him,(M) for we shall see him as he is.(N) 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves,(O) just as he is pure.(P)
4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.(Q) 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins.(R) And in him is no sin.(S) 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning.(T) No one who continues to sin has either seen him(U) or known him.(V)
7 Dear children,(W) do not let anyone lead you astray.(X) The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.(Y) 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil,(Z) because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God(AA) appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.(AB) 9 No one who is born of God(AC) will continue to sin,(AD) because God’s seed(AE) remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God(AF) are and who the children of the devil(AG) are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love(AH) their brother and sister.(AI)
More on Love and Hatred
11 For this is the message you heard(AJ) from the beginning:(AK) We should love one another.(AL) 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one(AM) and murdered his brother.(AN) And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous.(AO)
