1 John 3:1

---

← 1 John 2:29	1 John 3:1 (KJV)	1 John 3:2 →
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.	Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.	Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth 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.
