1 John 2:28-3:3
American Standard Version
28 And now, my little children, abide in him; that, if he shall be manifested, we may have boldness, and not be ashamed [a]before him at his [b]coming. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, [c]ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness is begotten of him.
3 Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if [d]he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is. 3 And every one that hath this hope set on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
