1 John 3:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 [a]Dearly beloved, now are we the sons of God, but yet it is not made manifest what we shall be: and we know that when he shall be made manifest: we shall be [b]like him: for we shall see him [c]as he is.
3 [d]And every man that hath this hope in him purgeth himself, even [e]as he is pure.
4 [f]Whosoever [g]commiteth sin, transgresseth also the Law: for [h]sin is the transgression of the Law.
