| 3:11 | For this is the tellyng, that ye herden at the bigynnyng, that ye loue ech othere; |
| 3:12 | not as Caym, that was of the yuele, and slouy his brother. And for what thing slouy he him? for hise werkis weren yuele, and hise brotheris iust. |
| 3:13 | Britheren, nyle ye wondre, if the world hatith you. |

| 3:18 | Mi litle sones, loue we not in word, nethir in tunge, but in werk and treuthe. |
| 3:19 | In this thing we knowen, that we ben of treuthe, and in his siyt we monesten oure hertis. |
| 3:20 | For if oure herte repreueth vs, God is more than oure hert, and knowith alle thingis. |
| 3:21 | Moost dere britheren, if oure herte repreueth not vs, we han trust to God; |
| 3:22 | and what euer we schulen axe, we schulen resseyue of hym, for we kepen hise comaundementis, and we don tho thingis that ben plesaunt bifor hym. |
| 3:23 | And this is the comaundement of God, that we bileue in the name of his sone Jhesu Crist, and that we loue ech othere, as he yaf heeste to vs. |
| 3:24 | And he that kepith hise comaundementis, dwellith in hym, and he in hym. And in this thing we witen, that he dwellith in vs, bi the spirit, whom he yaf to vs. |
| 3:1 | Behold, what loue the Father hath giuen to vs, that we should be called the sonnes of God: for this cause this world knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him. |
| 3:2 | Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shalbe made manifest, we shalbe like him: for we shall see him as he is. |
| 3:3 | And euery man that hath this hope in him, purgeth himselfe, euen as he is pure. |
| 3:4 | Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the Law: for sinne is the transgression of the Lawe. |
| 3:5 | And ye knowe that hee was made manifest, that he might take away our sinnes, and in him is no sinne. |
| 3:6 | Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither hath knowen him. |
| 3:7 | Litle children, let no man deceiue you: he that doeth righteousnes, is righteous, as hee is righteous. |
| 3:8 | He that comitteth sinne, is of the deuil: for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose was made manifest that Sonne of God, that he might loose the workes of the deuil. |
| 3:9 | Whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: for his seede remaineth in him, neither can hee sinne, because he is borne of God. |
| 3:10 | In this are the children of God knowen, and the children of the deuil: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither he that loueth not his brother. |
| 3:11 | For this is the message, that ye heard from the beginning, that we should loue one another, |
| 3:12 | Not as Cain which was of that wicked one, and slewe his brother: and wherefore slewe he him? because his owne workes were euill, and his brothers good. |
| 3:13 | Marueile not, my brethren, though this world hate you. |
| 3:14 | We know that we are translated from death vnto life, because we loue the brethren: he that loueth not his brother, abideth in death. |
| 3:15 | Whosoeuer hateth his brother, is a manslayer: and ye know that no manslayer hath eternall life abiding in him. |
| 3:16 | Hereby haue we perceiued loue, that he layde downe his life for vs: therefore we ought also to lay downe our liues for the brethren. |
| 3:17 | And whosoeuer hath this worlds good, and seeth his brother haue neede, and shutteth vp his compassion from him, howe dwelleth the loue of God in him? |
| 3:18 | My litle children, let vs not loue in worde, neither in tongue onely, but in deede and in trueth. |
| 3:19 | For thereby we know that we are of the trueth, and shall before him assure our hearts. |
| 3:20 | For if our heart condemne vs, God is greater then our heart, and knoweth all things. |
| 3:21 | Beloued, if our heart condemne vs not, then haue we boldnes toward God. |
| 3:22 | And whatsoeuer we aske we receiue of him, because we keepe his commandements, and do those things which are pleasing in his sight. |
| 3:23 | This is then his commandement, That we beleeue in the Name of his Sonne Iesus Christ, and loue one another as hee gaue commandement. |
| 3:24 | For hee that keepeth his commandements, dwelleth in him, and he in him: and hereby we knowe that hee abideth in vs, euen by that Spirit which he hath giuen vs. |
| 3:1 | Behold what manner of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the sons of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. |
| 3:2 | Beloved, now we are the sons of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we will be, but we know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is. |
| 3:3 | And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. |
| 3:4 | Whoever commits sin also transgresses the law, because sin is the transgression of the law. |
| 3:5 | And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him is no sin. |
| 3:6 | Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. |
| 3:7 | Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. |
| 3:8 | He who commits sin is of the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. |
| 3:9 | Whoever is born of God does not commit sin, because, His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. |
| 3:10 | In this the children of God and the children of the devil are revealed: whosoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor he who does not love his brother. |
| 3:11 | Because, this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another, |
| 3:12 | not as Cain who was of that wicked one and murdered his brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own works were evil and his brother's righteous. |
| 3:13 | Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. |
| 3:14 | We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. |
| 3:15 | Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. |
| 3:16 | By this we perceive the love of God, because He laid down His life for us. And we also should lay down our lives for the brethren. |
| 3:17 | But whoever has this world's goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart of compassion from him, how does the love of God abide in him? |
| 3:18 | My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. |
| 3:19 | And by this we know that we are of the truth, and will assure our hearts before Him. |
| 3:20 | Because, if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. |
| 3:21 | Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, then have we confidence toward God. |
| 3:22 | And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. |
| 3:23 | And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. |
| 3:24 | Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. |
