1 John 3:2 DBY

¹  See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.

²  Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

³  And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as *he* is pure.

⁴  Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
