| 1st-John 3:1 | Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called, and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him. | 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 what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and [such] we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. |
| 1st-John 3:2 | Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God; and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know, that, when he shall appear, we shall be like to him: because 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 are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is. |
| 1st-John 3:3 | And every one that hath this hope in him, sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy. | And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy. | And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. |
| 1st-John 3:4 | Whosoever committeth sin commmitteth also iniquity; and sin is iniquity. | Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law. | Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. |
| 1st-John 3:5 | And you know that he appeared to take away our sins, and in him there is no sin. | And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin. | And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. |
| 1st-John 3:6 | Whosoever abideth in him, sinneth not; and whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, nor 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. | Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him. |
| 1st-John 3:7 | Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just. | My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright; | [My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: |
| 1st-John 3:8 | He that commmitteth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose, the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy 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 that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. |
| 1st-John 3:9 | Whosoever is born of God, commmitteth not sin: for his seed abideth in him, and he can not sin, because he is born 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. | Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. |
| 1st-John 3:10 | In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just, is not of God, nor he that loveth not 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 manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. |
| 1st-John 3:11 | For this is the declaration, which you have heard from the beginning, that you 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 ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another: |
| 1st-John 3:12 | Not as Cain, who was of the wicked one, and killed his brother. And wherefore did he kill him? Because his own works were wicked: and his brother's just. | 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. | not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother's righteous. |

He that loveth not, abideth in death. | We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death. | We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not abideth in death. |
| 1st-John 3:15 | Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. And you know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in himself. | 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. | Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. |
| 1st-John 3:16 | In this we have known the charity of God, because he hath laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. | 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. | Hereby know we love, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. |
| 1st-John 3:17 | He that hath the substance of this world, and shall see his brother in need, and shall shut up his bowels from him: how doth the charity of God abide 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 whoso hath the world's goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him? |
| 1st-John 3:18 | My little children, let us not love in word, nor in 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 us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth. |
| 1st-John 3:19 | In this we know that we are of the truth: and in his sight shall persuade our hearts. | In this way we may be certain that we are true, and may give our heart comfort before him, | Hereby shall we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our heart before him: |
| 1st-John 3:20 | For if our heart reprehend us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth 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 condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. |
| 1st-John 3:21 | Dearly beloved, if our heart do not reprehend us, we have confidence 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 heart condemn us not, we have boldness toward God; |
| 1st-John 3:22 | And whatsoever we shall ask, we shall receive of him: because we keep his commandments, and do those 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 whatsoever we ask we receive of 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 should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ: and love one another, as he hath given commandment unto us. | 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. | And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment. |
| 1st-John 3:24 | And he that keepeth his commandments, abideth in him, and he in him. And in this we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given 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. | And he that keepeth his commandments abideth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he gave us. |
