1 John 2:28-1 John 3:10 - God's Children
28 And now, my children, abide in him; that when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one also that doeth righteousness hath been born of him.
1 Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God l For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it hath not yet been manifested what we shall be. We know that, when it shall be manifested, we shall be like him; because we shall see him as he is. 3 And every one that hath this hope in Him purifieth himself, even as He is pure.
4 Whoever committeth sin transgresseth thereby the law; for sin is a transgression of the law. 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away sins; and in him is no sin. 6 Whoever abideth in him sinneth not; whoever sinneth hath not seen him, nor known him.
7 My children, let no one deceive you; he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for the Devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the Devil. 9 Whoever hath been born of God doth not commit sin, because his seed abideth in him; and he cannot sin, because he hath been born of God. 10 In this are manifest the children of God and the children of the Devil. Whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, and he that loveth not his brother.
