1 John 2:28-3:3
Legacy Standard Bible
28 And now, (A)little children, abide in Him, so that when He (B)is manifested, we may have (C)confidence and (D)not [a]shrink away from Him in shame [b]at His (E)coming. 29 If you know that (F)He is righteous, you know that everyone also who does righteousness (G)has been [c]born of Him.
Children of God, Love One Another
3 See [d](H)how great a love the Father has given to us, that we would be called (I)children of God; and we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because (J)it did not know Him. 2 (K)Beloved, now we are (L)children of God, and (M)it has not been manifested as yet what we will be. We know that when He (N)is manifested, we will be (O)like Him, because we will (P)see Him just as He is. 3 And everyone who has this (Q)hope fixed on Him (R)purifies himself, just as He is pure.

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)
