1 John 3:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

^2 (A)Beloved, now we are ^(B)children of God, and ^(C)it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He ^(D)appears, we will be ^(E)like Him, because we will ^(F)see Him just as He is. ³ And everyone who has this ^(G)hope fixed on Him ^(H)purifies himself, just as He is pure.

⁴ Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and ^(I)sin is lawlessness.
