1 John 2:28-3:3
New American Standard Bible 1995
28 Now, (A)little children, abide in Him, so that when He (B)appears, 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 practices righteousness (G)is [c]born of Him.
Children of God Love One Another
3 See [d](H)how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called (I)children of God; and such 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 appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He (N)appears, 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.
