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.
