1 John 2:28-3:3

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁸ So now, dear children, remain in him so that we may be confident when he appears and may be unashamed before him at his coming. ²⁹ If you know that he is righteous, then you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

Love From the Father

3 See the kind of love the Father has given us that we should be called children of God, and that is what we are! The world does not know us, because it did not know him. ² Dear friends, we are children of God now, but what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that when he is revealed we will be like him, and we will see him as he really is. ³ Everyone who has this hope purifies himself just as Jesus^[a] is pure.
