1 John 2:28-3:3
International Standard Version
Abide in Him
28 Even now, little children, abide in him. Then, when he appears, we will have confidence and will not turn away from him in shame when he comes. 29 Since you know that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by God.[a]
We are God’s Children
3 See what kind of love the Father has given us: We are called God’s children—and that is what we are![b] For this reason the world does not recognize us, because it did not recognize him, either.
2 Dear friends, we are now God’s children, but what we will be like has not been revealed yet. We know that when the Messiah[c] is revealed, we will be like him, because we will see him as he is. 3 And everyone who has this hope based on him keeps himself pure, just as the Messiah[d] is pure.
