What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to.

2-3 But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus’ life as a model for our own.

4-6 All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God’s order. Surely you know that Christ showed up in order to get rid of sin. There is no sin in him, and sin is not part of his program. No one who lives deeply in Christ makes a practice of sin. None of those who do practice sin have taken a good look at Christ. They’ve got him all backward.

7-8 So, my dear children, don’t let anyone divert you from the truth. It’s the person who acts right who is right, just as we see it lived out in our righteous Messiah. Those who make a practice of sin are straight from the Devil, the pioneer in the practice of sin. The Son of God entered the scene to abolish the Devil’s ways.

9-10 People conceived and brought into life by God don’t make a practice of sin. How could they? God’s seed is deep within them, making them who they are. It’s not in the nature of the God-born to practice and parade sin. Here’s how you tell the difference between God’s children and the Devil’s children: The one who won’t practice righteous ways isn’t from God, nor is the one who won’t love brother or sister. A simple test.

* * *

11 For this is the original message we heard: We should love each other.

12-13 We must not be like Cain, who joined the Evil One and then killed his brother. And why did he kill him? Because he was deep in the practice of evil, while the acts of his brother were righteous. So don’t be surprised, friends, when the world hates you. This has been going on a long time.

14-15 The way we know we’ve been transferred from death to life is that we love our brothers and sisters. Anyone who doesn’t love is as good as dead. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know very well that eternal life and murder don’t go together.

16-17 This is how we’ve come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves. If you see some brother or sister in need and have the means to do something about it but turn a cold shoulder and do nothing, what happens to God’s love? It disappears. And you made it disappear.

When We Practice Real Love

18-20 My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.

21-24 And friends, once that’s taken care of and we’re no longer accusing or condemning ourselves, we’re bold and free before God! We’re able to stretch our hands out and receive what we asked for because we’re doing what he said, doing what pleases him. Again, this is God’s command: to believe in his personally named Son, Jesus Christ. He told us to love each other, in line with the original command. As we keep his commands, we live deeply and surely in him, and he lives in us. And this is how we experience his deep and abiding presence in us: by the Spirit he gave us.

你们看,父赐给我们的是怎样的爱,就是让我们可以称为 神的儿女,我们也真是他的儿女。因此,世人不认识我们,是因为他们不认识父。 亲爱的,现在我们是 神的儿女,将来怎样,还没有显明;然而我们知道:主若显现,我们必要像他,因为我们必要看见他本来是怎样的。 凡对他存着这盼望的,就洁净自己,像他一样的洁净。

凡是犯罪的,就是作了不法的事;罪就是不法。 你们知道主曾经显现,为要除掉罪,他自己却没有罪。 凡是住在他里面的,就不犯罪;凡犯罪的,是未曾见过他,也不认识他。 孩子们,不要受人欺骗,行义的才是义人,正如主是公义的。 犯罪的是出于魔鬼,因为魔鬼从起初就犯罪。因此, 神的儿子显现了,是要除灭魔鬼的作为。 凡是从 神生的,就不犯罪,因为 神的生命(“ 神的生命”原文作“种子”)在他里面;他也不能犯罪,因为他是从 神生的。 10 这样,谁是 神的儿女,谁是魔鬼的儿女,就很明显了。凡不行义的,就不是出于 神,不爱弟兄的,也是这样。

应当彼此相爱

11 我们应当彼此相爱,因为这是你们从起初听见的信息。 12 不要像该隐,他是属于那恶者的,他又杀了自己的弟弟。为甚么杀他呢?因为他自己的行为是恶的,弟弟的行为是义的。 13 弟兄们,世人若恨你们,不要希奇。 14 我们因为爱弟兄,就知道我们已经出死入生了;不爱弟兄的,仍然住在死中。 15 凡恨弟兄的,就是杀人的。你们知道,杀人的在他里面没有永生。 16 主为我们舍命,这样,我们就知道甚么是爱;我们也应当为弟兄舍命。 17 凡有世上财物的,看见弟兄穷乏,却硬着心肠不理,他怎能说他心里有 神的爱呢? 18 孩子们,我们爱人,不要只在言语和舌头上,总要在行动和真诚上表现出来。

在 神面前可以坦然无惧

19-20 这样,我们就知道我们是属于真理的。即使我们的心责备我们,在 神面前我们也可以心安理得,因为他比我们的心大,他知道一切。 21 亲爱的,我们的心若不责备我们,在 神面前我们就可以坦然无惧了。 22 凡我们所求的,就必从他得着,因为我们遵守他的命令,作他所喜悦的事。 23  神的命令,就是要我们信他的儿子耶稣基督的名,并且照着他的吩咐彼此相爱。 24 凡是遵守 神命令的,就住在 神里面, 神也住在他里面。凭着 神所赐给我们的圣灵,我们就可以知道 神住在我们里面。
