1 John 3:2-4

Expanded Bible

² ·Dear friends [^LBeloved], now we are children of God, and ·we have not yet been shown [it has not yet been revealed] what we will be in the future. But we know that when ·Christ comes again [^Lhe/it is revealed], we will be like him, because we will see him as he really is. ³ And all who have this hope in ·Christ [^Lhim] keep themselves pure, just as ·Christ [^Lhe] is pure.

⁴ ·The person [^LEveryone] who ·sins [commits sin] ·breaks God’s law [commits lawlessness/iniquity; ^Creferring to the false teachers; 2:19–20]. Yes, sin is ·living against God’s law [lawlessness; iniquity].
