| 1st-John 3:1 | See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called [the] children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not. | See what great love the Father has given us in naming us the children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not see who we are, because it did not see who he was. | Behold, how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn't know us, because it didn't know him. |
| 1st-John 3:2 | Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. | My loved ones, now we are children of God, and at present it is not clear what we are to be. We are certain that at his revelation we will be like him; for we will see him as he is. | Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet revealed what we will be. But we know that, when he is revealed, we will be like him; for we will see him just as he is. |
| 1st-John 3:3 | And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as *he* is pure. | And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy. | Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure. |
| 1st-John 3:4 | Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. | Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law. | Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness. |
| 1st-John 3:5 | And ye know that *he* has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not. | And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin. | You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and in him is no sin. |
| 1st-John 3:6 | Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him. | Anyone who is in him does no sin; anyone who is a sinner has not seen him and has no knowledge of him. | Whoever remains in him doesn't sin. Whoever sins hasn't seen him, neither knows him. |
| 1st-John 3:7 | Children, let no man lead you astray; he that practises righteousness is righteous, even as *he* is righteous. | My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright; | Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. |
| 1st-John 3:8 | He that practises sin is of the devil; for from [the] beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil. | The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One. | He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed, that he might destroy the works of the devil. |
| 1st-John 3:9 | Whoever has been begotten of God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God. | Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father. | Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God. |
| 1st-John 3:10 | In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness is not of God, and he who does not love his brother. | In this way it is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the Evil One; anyone who does not do righteousness or who has no love for his brother, is not a child of God. | In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn't do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn't love his brother. |
| 1st-John 3:11 | For this is the message which ye have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: | Because this is the word which was given to you from the first, that we are to have love for one another; | For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another; |
| 1st-John 3:12 | not as Cain was of the wicked one, and slew his brother; and on account of what slew he him? because his works were wicked, and those of his brother righteous. | Not being of the Evil One like Cain, who put his brother to death. And why did he put him to death? Because his works were evil and his brother's works were good. | unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous. |

| 1st-John 3:14 | *We* know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren.

He who has no love is still in death. | We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. He who doesn't love his brother remains in death. |
| 1st-John 3:15 | Every one that hates his brother is a murderer, and ye know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. | Anyone who has hate for his brother is a taker of life, and you may be certain that no taker of life has eternal life in him. | Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life remaining in him. |
| 1st-John 3:16 | Hereby we have known love, because *he* has laid down his life for us; and *we* ought for the brethren to lay down [our] lives. | In this we see what love is, because he gave his life for us; and it is right for us to give our lives for the brothers. | By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. We ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. |
| 1st-John 3:17 | But whoso may have the world's substance, and see his brother having need, and shut up his bowels from him, how abides the love of God in him? | But if a man has this world's goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him? | But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his compassion from him, how does the love of God remain in him? |
| 1st-John 3:18 | Children, let us not love with word, nor with tongue, but in deed and in truth. | My little children, do not let our love be in word and in tongue, but let it be in act and in good faith. | My little children, let's not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth. |

| 1st-John 3:20 | that if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart and knows all things. | When our heart says that we have done wrong; because God is greater than our heart, and has knowledge of all things. | because if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. |
| 1st-John 3:21 | Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, we have boldness towards God, | My loved ones, if our heart does not say that we have done wrong, we have no fear before him; | Beloved, if our hearts don't condemn us, we have boldness toward God; |
| 1st-John 3:22 | and whatsoever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments, and practise the things which are pleasing in his sight. | And he gives us all our requests, because we keep his laws and do the things which are pleasing in his eyes. | and whatever we ask, we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight. |
| 1st-John 3:23 | And this is his commandment, that we believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and that we love one another, even as he has given us commandment. | And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us. | This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he commanded. |
| 1st-John 3:24 | And he that keeps his commandments abides in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit which he has given to us. | He who keeps his laws is in God and God is in him. And the Spirit which he gave us is our witness that he is in us. | He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him. By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit which he gave us. |
