1 Iohn 3

1 He declareth the singular love of God towards us, in making us his sons: 3 who therefore ought obediently to keep his Commandments, 11 as also brotherly to love one another.

 3:1 ¶ Beholde, 1492 z5628 what manner 4217 of loue 26 the x3588 Father 3962 hath bestowed 1325 z5758 vpon vs, 2254 that 2443 wee should be called 2564 z5686 the sonnes 5043 of God: 2316 therfore 1223 5124 the x3588 world 2889 knoweth 1097 z5719 vs 2248 not, 3756 because 3754 it knewe 1097 z5627 him 846 not. 3756

 3:2 Beloued, 27 now 3568 are x2070 we y2070 z5748 the sonnes 5043 of God, 2316 and 2532 it doeth y5319 z0 not yet 3768 appeare, 5319 z5681 what 5101 wee shall be: 2071 z5704 but 1161 wee know, 1492 z5758 that 3754 when 1437 he shall appeare, 5319 z5686 we shall bee 2071 z5704 like 3664 him: 846 for 3754 we shall see 3700 z5695 him 846 as 2531 he is. 2076 z5748

 3:3 And 2532 euery man 3956 that hath 2192 z5723 this 5026 hope 1680 in 1909 him, 846 purifieth 48 z5719 himselfe, 1438 euen as 2531 he 1565 is 2076 z5748 pure. 53

 3:4 Whosoeuer 3956 committeth 4160 z5723 sinne, 266 transgresseth y4160 z5719 y458 z0 also y2532 the lawe: 458 x4160 x2532 for 2532 sinne 266 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 transgression of the law. 458

 3:5 And 2532 ye know 1492 z5758 that 3754 hee 1565 was manifested 5319 z5681 to 2443 take away 142 z5661 our 2257 sinnes, 266 and 2532 in 1722 him 846 is 2076 z5748 no 3756 sinne. 266

 3:6 Whosoeuer y3956 x2956 abideth 3306 z5723 in 1722 him, 846 sinneth 264 z5719 not: 3756 whosoeuer 3956 sinneth, 264 z5723 hath y3708 z0 not 3756 seene 3708 z5758 him, 846 neither 3761 knowen 1097 z5758 him. 846

 3:7 Little children, 5040 let y4105 z0 no man 3367 deceiue 4105 z5720 you: 5209 he that doth 4160 z5723 righteousnes, 1343 is 2076 z5748 righteous, 1342 euen as 2531 he 1565 is 2076 z5748 righteous. 1342

 3:8 He that committeth 4160 z5723 sinne, 266 is 2076 z5748 of 1537 the x3588 deuill, 1228 for 3754 the x3588 deuill 1228 sinneth 264 z5719 from 575 the beginning: 746 for 1519 this purpose 5124 the x3588 Sonne 5207 of God 2316 was manifested, 5319 z5681 that 2443 he might destroy 3089 z5661 the x3588 works 2041 of the x3588 deuill. 1228

 3:9 Whosoeuer 3956 is borne 1080 z5772 of 1537 God, 2316 doth y4160 z5719 not 3756 commit x4160 sinne: 266 for 3754 his y846 x848 seede 4690 remaineth 3306 z5719 in 1722 him, 846 and 2532 he cannot 3756 1410 z5736 sinne, 264 z5721 because 3754 he is borne 1080 z5769 of 1537 God. 2316

 3:10 In 1722 this 5129 the x3588 children 5043 of God 2316 are 2076 z5748 manifest, 5318 and 2532 the x3588 children 5043 of the x3588 deuill: 1228 whosoeuer 3956 doeth 4160 z5723 not 3361 righteousnesse, 1343 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 of 1537 God, 2316 neither 2532 hee that loueth 25 z5723 not 3361 his y846 x848 brother. 80

 3:11 For 3754 this 3778 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 message 31 that 3739 yee heard 191 z5656 from 575 the beginning, 746 that 2443 wee should loue 25 z5725 one another. 240

 3:12 Not 3756 as 2531 Cain, 2535 [who] was 2258 z5713 of 1537 that wicked one, 4190 and 2532 slewe 4969 z5656 his y846 x848 brother: 80 and 2532 wherefore 5484 5101 slewe 4969 z5656 hee him? 846 because 3754 his owne y846 x848 workes 2041 were 2258 z5713 euill, 4190 and 1161 his y846 x848 brothers 80 righteous. 1342

 3:13 Marueile 2296 z5720 not, 3361 my 3450 brethren, 80 if 1487 the x3588 world 2889 hate 3404 z5719 you. 5209

 3:14 Wee x2249 know 1492 z5758 that 3754 wee y2249 haue passed 3327 z5758 from 1537 death 2288 vnto 1519 life, 2222 because 3754 wee loue 25 z5719 the x3588 brethren: 80 he that loueth 25 z5723 not 3361 his brother, 80 abideth 3306 z5719 in 1722 death. 2288

 3:15 Whosoeuer 3956 hateth 3404 z5723 his y846 x848 brother, 80 is 2076 z5748 a murtherer, 443 and 2532 yee knowe 1492 z5758 that 3754 no 3756 3956 murtherer 443 hath 2192 z5719 eternall 166 life 2222 abiding 3306 z5723 in 1722 him. 846

 3:16 Hereby 1722 5129 perceiue x1097 wee y1097 z5758 the x3588 loue 26 of God, x2316 because 3754 he 1565 layd downe 5087 z5656 his y846 x848 life 5590 for 5228 vs, 2257 and 2532 wee 2249 ought 3784 z5719 to lay downe 5087 z5721 our liues 5590 for 5228 the x3588 brethren. 80

 3:17 But 1161 who so 3739 302 hath 2192 z5725 this worlds 2889 good, 979 and 2532 seeth 2334 z5725 his y846 x848 brother 80 hath 2192 z5723 need, 5532 and 2532 shutteth vp 2808 z5661 his y846 x848 bowels 4698 of compassion from 575 him; 846 how 4459 dwelleth 3306 z5719 the x3588 loue 26 of God 2316 in 1722 him? 846

 3:18 My 3450 little children, 5040 let vs y25 z0 not 3361 loue 25 z5725 in word, 3056 neither 3366 in tongue, 1100 but 235 indeede 2041 and 2532 in trueth. 225

 3:19 And 2532 hereby 1722 5129 wee know 1097 z5719 that 3754 wee are 2070 z5748 of 1537 the x3588 trueth, 225 and 2532 shall assure 3982 z5692 our 2257 hearts 2588 before 1715 him. 846

 3:20 For 3754 if 1437 our 2257 heart 2588 condemne x2607 vs, 3754 y2607 z5725 God 2316 is 2076 z5748 greater 3187 then our 2257 heart, 2588 and 2532 knoweth 1097 z5719 all things. 3956

 3:21 Beloued, 27 if y3362 z0 x1437 our 2257 heart 2588 condemne 2607 z5725 vs 2257 not, y3362 x3361 [then] haue x2192 wee y2192 z5719 confidence 3954 towards 4314 God. 2316

 3:22 And 2532 whatsoeuer 3739 1437 we aske, 154 z5725 wee receiue 2983 z5719 of 3844 him, 846 because 3754 we keepe 5083 z5719 his y846 x848 commandement, 1785 and 2532 doe 4160 z5719 those things that are pleasing 701 in his y846 sight. 1799 x846

 3:23 And 2532 this 3778 is 2076 z5748 his y846 x848 commandement, 1785 that 2443 we should beleeue 4100 z5661 on the x3588 Name 3686 of his y846 x848 Sonne 5207 Iesus 2424 Christ, 5547 and 2532 loue 25 z5725 one another, 240 as 2531 hee gaue 1325 z5656 vs 2254 commandement. 1785

 3:24 And 2532 hee that keepeth 5083 z5723 his y846 x848 commandements 1785 dwelleth 3306 z5719 in 1722 him, 846 and 2532 hee 846 in 1722 him: 846 and 2532 hereby 1722 5129 wee know 1097 z5719 that 3754 hee abideth 3306 z5719 in 1722 vs, 2254 by 1537 the x3588 spirit 4151 which 3739 hee hath giuen 1325 z5656 vs. 2254
