Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

1 John 2
²⁵ This is the promise which He Himself made to us: eternal life.
²⁶ These things I have written to you concerning those who are trying to deceive you.
²⁷ As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.
²⁸ Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.
²⁹ If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.
1 John 3
¹ See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
² Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is.
³ And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
⁴ Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
⁵ You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.
⁶ No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.
