1 John 2:28-3:3
Christian Standard Bible
God’s Children
28 So now, little children, remain in him so that when he appears(A) we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.(B) 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know this as well: Everyone who does what is right(C) has been born of him.(D)
3 See what great love[a] the Father has given us that we should be called God’s children—and we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it didn’t know him. 2 Dear friends, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet been revealed.(E) We know that when he appears,[b] we will be like him(F) because we will see him as he is.(G) 3 And everyone who has this hope(H) in him purifies himself just as he is pure.(I)
1 John 2:28-3:3
Lexham English Bible
God’s Children
28 And now, little children, remain in him, so that whenever he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone[a] who practices righteousness has been fathered by him.
3 See what sort of love the Father has given to us: that we should be called children of God, and we are! Because of this the world does not know us: because it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever he is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that one is pure.
