Children of God Love One Another

3 See ^[a](A)how great a love the Father has given us, that we would be called ^(B)children of God; and in fact we are. For this reason the world does not know us: because ^(C)it did not know Him. ^2 (D)Beloved, now we are ^(E)children of God, and ^(F)it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He ^(G)appears, we will be ^(H)like Him, because we will ^(I)see Him just as He is.

^21 (A)Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have ^(B)confidence ^[a]before God; ²² and ^(C)whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we ^(D)keep His commandments and do ^(E)the things that are pleasing in His sight.

²³ This is His commandment, that we ^[b](F)believe in ^(G)the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as ^(H)He ^[c]commanded us. ²⁴ The one who ^(I)keeps His commandments ^(J)remains in Him, and He in him. ^(K)We know by this that ^(L)He remains in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
