1 John - Chapter 3

	1Jo 3:1	See ³⁷⁰⁸ how great ⁴²¹⁷ a love ²⁶ the Father ³⁹⁶² has bestowed ¹³²⁵ on us ¹⁴⁷³, that ²⁴⁴³ we would be called ²⁵⁶⁴ children ⁵⁰⁴³ of God ²³¹⁶; and ²⁵³² such we are ¹⁵¹⁰. For ¹²²³ this reason ³⁷⁷⁸ the world ²⁸⁸⁹ does not ³⁷⁵⁶ know ¹⁰⁹⁷ us ¹⁴⁷³, because ³⁷⁵⁴ it did not ³⁷⁵⁶ know ¹⁰⁹⁷ Him ⁸⁴⁶.
	1Jo 3:2	Beloved ²⁷, now ³⁵⁶⁸ we are ¹⁵¹⁰ children ⁵⁰⁴³ of God ²³¹⁶, and ²⁵³² it has not appeared ⁵³¹⁹ as yet ³⁷⁶⁸ what ⁵¹⁰¹ we will be ¹⁵¹⁰. We know ⁶⁰⁶³ that ³⁷⁵⁴ when ¹⁴³⁷ He appears ⁵³¹⁹, we will be ¹⁵¹⁰ like ³⁶⁶⁴ Him ⁸⁴⁶, because ³⁷⁵⁴ we will see ³⁷⁰⁸ Him ⁸⁴⁶ just as ²⁵³¹ He is ¹⁵¹⁰.
	1Jo 3:3	And ²⁵³² everyone ³⁹⁵⁶ who has ²¹⁹² this ³⁷⁷⁸ hope ¹⁶⁸⁰ fixed on ¹⁹⁰⁹ Him ⁸⁴⁶ purifies ⁴⁸ himself ¹⁴³⁸, just as ²⁵³¹ He ¹⁵⁶⁵ is ¹⁵¹⁰ pure ⁵³.
	1Jo 3:4	Everyone ³⁹⁵⁶ who practices ⁴¹⁶⁰ sin ²⁶⁶ also ²⁵³² practices ⁴¹⁶⁰ lawlessness ⁴⁵⁸; and ²⁵³² sin ²⁶⁶ is ¹⁵¹⁰ lawlessness ⁴⁵⁸.
	1Jo 3:5	You know ⁶⁰⁶³ that ³⁷⁵⁴ He ¹⁵⁶⁵ appeared ⁵³¹⁹ in order to ²⁴⁴³ take away ¹⁴² sins ²⁶⁶; and ²⁵³² in ¹⁷²² Him ⁸⁴⁶ there is ¹⁵¹⁰ no ³⁷⁵⁶ sin ²⁶⁶.
	1Jo 3:6	No ³⁷⁵⁶ one ³⁹⁵⁶ who abides ³³⁰⁶ in ¹⁷²² Him ⁸⁴⁶ sins ²⁶⁴; no ³⁷⁵⁶ one ³⁹⁵⁶ who sins ²⁶⁴ has seen ³⁷⁰⁸ Him ⁸⁴⁶ or ³⁷⁶¹ knows ¹⁰⁹⁷ Him ⁸⁴⁶.
	1Jo 3:7	Little children ⁵⁰⁴⁰, make sure no one ³³⁶⁷ deceives ⁴¹⁰⁵ you ⁴⁷⁷¹; the one who practices ⁴¹⁶⁰ righteousness ¹³⁴³ is ¹⁵¹⁰ righteous ¹³⁴², just as ²⁵³¹ He ¹⁵⁶⁵ is ¹⁵¹⁰ righteous ¹³⁴²;
	1Jo 3:8	the one who practices ⁴¹⁶⁰ sin ²⁶⁶ is ¹⁵¹⁰ of ¹⁵³⁷ the devil ¹²²⁸; for ³⁷⁵⁴ the devil ¹²²⁸ has sinned ²⁶⁴ from ⁵⁷⁵ the beginning ⁷⁴⁶. The Son ⁵²⁰⁷ of God ²³¹⁶ appeared ⁵³¹⁹ for ¹⁵¹⁹ this purpose ³⁷⁷⁸, to ²⁴⁴³ destroy ³⁰⁸⁹ the works ²⁰⁴¹ of the devil ¹²²⁸.
	1Jo 3:9	No ³⁹⁵⁶ ³⁷⁵⁶ one ³⁹⁵⁶ who is born ¹⁰⁸⁰ of God ²³¹⁶ practices ⁴¹⁶⁰ sin ²⁶⁶, because ³⁷⁵⁴ His ⁸⁴⁶ seed ⁴⁶⁹⁰ abides ³³⁰⁶ in ¹⁷²² him ⁸⁴⁶; and ²⁵³² he cannot ¹⁴¹⁰ ³⁷⁵⁶ sin ²⁶⁴, because ³⁷⁵⁴ he is born ¹⁰⁸⁰ of ¹⁵³⁷ God ²³¹⁶.
	1Jo 3:10	By ¹⁷²² this ³⁷⁷⁸ the children ⁵⁰⁴³ of God ²³¹⁶ and ²⁵³² the children ⁵⁰⁴³ of the devil ¹²²⁸ are ¹⁵¹⁰ obvious ⁵³¹⁸: anyone ³⁹⁵⁶ who does not ³³⁶¹ practice ⁴¹⁶⁰ righteousness ¹³⁴³ is ¹⁵¹⁰ not ³⁷⁵⁶ of ¹⁵³⁷ God ²³¹⁶, nor ²⁵³² the one who does ²⁵ ⁰ not ³³⁶¹ love ²⁵ his ⁸⁴⁶ brother ⁸⁰.
	1Jo 3:11	For ³⁷⁵⁴ this ³⁷⁷⁸ is ¹⁵¹⁰ the message ³¹ which ³⁷³⁹ you have heard ¹⁹¹ from ⁵⁷⁵ the beginning ⁷⁴⁶, that ²⁴⁴³ we should love ²⁵ one another ²⁴⁰;
	1Jo 3:12	not ³⁷⁵⁶ as ²⁵³¹ Cain ²⁵³⁵, who was ¹⁵¹⁰ of ¹⁵³⁷ the evil one ⁴¹⁹⁰ and ²⁵³² slew ⁴⁹⁶⁹ his ⁸⁴⁶ brother ⁸⁰. And ²⁵³² for what ⁵¹⁰¹ reason ⁵⁴⁸⁴ did he slay ⁴⁹⁶⁹ him ⁸⁴⁶? Because ³⁷⁵⁴ his ⁸⁴⁶ deeds ²⁰⁴¹ were ¹⁵¹⁰ evil ⁴¹⁹⁰, and ¹¹⁶¹ his ⁸⁴⁶ brother's ⁸⁰ were righteous ¹³⁴².
	1Jo 3:13	Do not ³³⁶¹ be surprised ²²⁹⁶, brethren ⁸⁰, if ¹⁴⁸⁷ the world ²⁸⁸⁹ hates ³⁴⁰⁴ you ⁴⁷⁷¹.
	1Jo 3:14	We ¹⁴⁷³ know ⁶⁰⁶³ that ³⁷⁵⁴ we have passed ³³²⁷ out of ¹⁵³⁷ death ²²⁸⁸ into ¹⁵¹⁹ life ²²²², because ³⁷⁵⁴ we love ²⁵ the brethren ⁸⁰. He who does ²⁵ ⁰ not ³³⁶¹ love ²⁵ abides ³³⁰⁶ in ¹⁷²² death ²²⁸⁸.
	1Jo 3:15	Everyone ³⁹⁵⁶ who hates ³⁴⁰⁴ his ⁸⁴⁶ brother ⁸⁰ is ¹⁷²² a murderer ⁴⁴³; and ²⁵³² you know ⁶⁰⁶³ that ³⁷⁵⁴ no ³⁹⁵⁶ ³⁷⁵⁶ murderer ⁴⁴³ has ²¹⁹² eternal ¹⁶⁶ life ²²²² abiding ³³⁰⁶ in ¹⁷²² him ⁸⁴⁶.
	1Jo 3:16	We know ¹⁰⁹⁷ love ²⁶ by ¹⁷²² this ³⁷⁷⁸, that ³⁷⁵⁴ He ¹⁵⁶⁵ laid down ⁵⁰⁸⁷ His ⁸⁴⁶ life ⁵⁵⁹⁰ for ⁵²²⁸ us ¹⁴⁷³; and ²⁵³² we ¹⁴⁷³ ought ³⁷⁸⁴ to lay down ⁵⁰⁸⁷ our lives ⁵⁵⁹⁰ for ⁵²²⁸ the brethren ⁸⁰.
	1Jo 3:17	But ¹¹⁶¹ whoever ³⁷³⁹ ³⁰² has ²¹⁹² the world's ²⁸⁸⁹ goods ⁹⁷⁹, and ²⁵³² sees ²³³⁴ his ⁸⁴⁶ brother ⁸⁰ in need ²¹⁹² ⁵⁵³² and ²⁵³² closes ²⁸⁰⁸ his ⁸⁴⁶ heart ⁴⁶⁹⁸ against ⁵⁷⁵ him ⁸⁴⁶, how ⁴⁴⁵⁹ does the love ²⁶ of God ²³¹⁶ abide ³³⁰⁶ in ¹⁷²² him ⁸⁴⁶?
	1Jo 3:18	Little children ⁵⁰⁴⁰, let us not ³³⁶¹ love ²⁵ with word ³⁰⁵⁶ or ³³⁶⁶ with tongue ¹¹⁰⁰, but ²³⁵ in ¹⁷²² deed ²⁰⁴¹ and ²⁵³² truth ²²⁵.
	1Jo 3:19	We will know ¹⁰⁹⁷ by ¹⁷²² this ³⁷⁷⁸ that ³⁷⁵⁴ we are ¹⁵¹⁰ of ¹⁵³⁷ the truth ²²⁵, and ²⁵³² will assure ³⁹⁸² our ¹⁴⁷³ heart ²⁵⁸⁸ before ¹⁷¹⁵ Him ⁸⁴⁶
	1Jo 3:20	in whatever ¹⁴³⁷ our heart ²⁵⁸⁸ condemns ²⁶⁰⁷ us ¹⁴⁷³; for ³⁷⁵⁴ God ²³¹⁶ is ¹⁵¹⁰ greater ³¹⁷³ than our ¹⁴⁷³ heart ²⁵⁸⁸ and ²⁵³² knows ¹⁰⁹⁷ all things ³⁹⁵⁶.
	1Jo 3:21	Beloved ²⁷, if ¹⁴³⁷ our ¹⁴⁷³ heart ²⁵⁸⁸ does not ³³⁶¹ condemn us ²⁶⁰⁷, we have ²¹⁹² confidence ³⁹⁵⁴ before ⁴³¹⁴ God ²³¹⁶;
	1Jo 3:22	and ²⁵³² whatever ³⁷³⁹ ¹⁴³⁷ we ask ¹⁵⁴ we receive ²⁹⁸³ from ⁵⁷⁵ Him ⁸⁴⁶, because ³⁷⁵⁴ we keep ⁵⁰⁸³ His ⁸⁴⁶ commandments ¹⁷⁸⁵ and ²⁵³² do ⁴¹⁶⁰ the things that are pleasing ⁷⁰¹ in His ⁸⁴⁶ sight ¹⁷⁹⁹.
	1Jo 3:23	This ³⁷⁷⁸ is ¹⁵¹⁰ His ⁸⁴⁶ commandment ¹⁷⁸⁵, that ²⁴⁴³ we believe ⁴¹⁰⁰ in the name ³⁶⁸⁶ of His ⁸⁴⁶ Son ⁵²⁰⁷ Jesus ²⁴²⁴ Christ ⁵⁵⁴⁷, and ²⁵³² love ²⁵ one another ²⁴⁰, just as ²⁵³¹ He commanded ¹³²⁵ ¹⁷⁸⁵ us ¹⁴⁷³.
	1Jo 3:24	The one who keeps ⁵⁰⁸³ His ⁸⁴⁶ commandments ¹⁷⁸⁵ abides ³³⁰⁶ in ¹⁷²² Him ⁸⁴⁶, and ²⁵³² He ⁸⁴⁶ in ¹⁷²² him ⁸⁴⁶. We know ¹⁰⁹⁷ by ¹⁷²² this ³⁷⁷⁸ that ³⁷⁵⁴ He abides ³³⁰⁶ in ¹⁷²² us ¹⁴⁷³, by ¹⁵³⁷ the Spirit ⁴¹⁵¹ whom ³⁷³⁹ He has given ¹³²⁵ us ¹⁴⁷³.
