1 Yochanan 3

1 John 3 (CKJV)

1 Behold, what manner of Love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of Elohim: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew Him not.

² Beloved, now are we the sons of Elohim, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.

³ And every man that has this hope in Him purifies himself, even as He is pure.

⁴ Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the Torah: for sin is the transgression of the Torah.

⁵ And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.

⁶ Whosoever abides in Him sins not: whosoever sins has not seen Him, neither known Him.

⁷ Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous.

⁸ He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.

⁹ Whosoever is born of Elohim does not commit sin; for His seed remains in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of Elohim.

¹⁰ In this the children of Elohim are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of Elohim, neither he that loves not his brother.

¹¹ For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

¹² Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

¹³ Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

¹⁴ We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death.

¹⁵ Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

¹⁶ Hereby perceive we the Love of Elohim, because He laid down His life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

¹⁷ But whoso has this world's good, and sees his brother have need, and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love of Elohim in him?

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

¹⁹ And hereby we know that we are of the Truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

²⁰ For if our heart condemn us, Elohim is greater than our heart, and knows all things.

²¹ Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward Elohim.

²² And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

²³ And this is His commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son Yeshua HaMashiach, and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

²⁴ And he that keeps His commandments dwells in Him, and He in him. And hereby we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He has given us.
