1 John 2

[28] And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

[29] If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

1 John 3

[1] How great is the love the Father has lavished on 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] Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, [we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.]

[3] Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

[4] Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

[5] But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin.

[6] No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.

[7] Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. He who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.

[8] He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.

[9] No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

[10] This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

[1] My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense —Jesus Christ, the Righteous One.

[2] He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

[3] We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands.

[4] The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

[5] But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him:

[6] Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.

[7] Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard.

[8] Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.

[9] Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.

[10] Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble.

[11] But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him.

[12] I write to you, dear children, because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name.

[13] I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I write to you, dear children, because you have known the Father.

[14] I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

[1] That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched —this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.

[2] The life appeared; we have seen it and testify to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and has appeared to us.

[3] We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.

[4] We write this to make our joy complete.

[5] This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

[6] If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth.

[7] But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

[8] If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.

[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

[10] If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.
