62:003:003 And every man that hath this hope in him
purifieth himself,
even
as he is pure.
62:003:004 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth
also the law: for sin
is
the transgression of the law.
62:003:005 And ye know that he was manifested to take
away our sins; and
in
him is no sin.
62:003:006 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not:
whosoever sinneth hath
not
seen him, neither known him.
62:003:007 Little children, let no man deceive you:
he that doeth
righteousness
is righteous, even as he is righteous.
62:003:008 He that committeth sin is of the devil;
for the devil sinneth
from
the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God
was
manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.
62:003:009 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit
sin; for his seed
remaineth
in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born
of
God.
62:003:010 In this the children of God are manifest,
and the children of
the
devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not
of God,
neither
he that loveth not his brother.
62:003:011 For this is the message that ye heard from
the beginning, that
we
should love one another.
62:003:012 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one,
and slew his brother.
And
wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were
evil,
and
his brother’s righteous.
62:003:013 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
62:003:014 We know that we have passed from death
unto life, because we
love
the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth
in
death.
62:003:015 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer:
and ye know that
no
murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
62:003:016 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because
he laid down his
life
for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for
the
brethren.
62:003:017 But whoso hath this world’s good,
and seeth his brother have
need,
and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him,
how
dwelleth
the love of God in him?
62:003:018 My little children, let us not love in
word, neither in
tongue;
but in deed and in truth.
62:003:019 And hereby we know that we are of the truth,
and shall assure
our
hearts before him.
62:003:020 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater
than our heart,
and
knoweth all things.
62:003:021 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then
have we confidence
toward
God.
62:003:022 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him,
because we keep his
commandments,
and do those things that are pleasing in his
sight.
