1 John 2:28-3:3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

28 And now, little children, abide in him, so that when he is revealed we may have confidence and not be put to shame before him at his coming.(A)

Children of God

29 If you perceive that he is righteous, you also know that everyone who does right has been born of him.(B) 3 1 See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God, and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he[a] is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.(C) 3 And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.

1 John 2:28-3:3
New American Standard Bible

28 Now, (A)little children, remain in Him, so that when He (B)appears, we may have (C)confidence and (D)not [a]draw back from Him in shame [b]at His (E)coming. 29 If you know that (F)He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness also (G)has been born of Him.

Children of God Love One Another

3 See [c](H)how great a love the Father has given us, that we would be called (I)children of God; and in fact 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 set on Him (R)purifies himself, just as He is pure.
