1 John 3:1 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

1 John 3:1

1 Behold ^awhat manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that ^bwe should be called children of¹ God! Therefore the world does not know² us, ^cbecause it did not know Him.

2 Beloved, ^anow we are children of God; and ^bit has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, ^cwe shall be like Him, for ^dwe shall see Him as He is.

3 ^aAnd everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

Sin and the Child of God

4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and ^asin is lawlessness.
