1 John 3:1-3
See awhat kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called bchildren of God; and so we are. The reason why cthe world does not know us is that dit did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are aGod’s children bnow, and what we will be chas not yet appeared; but we know that dwhen he appears ewe shall be like him, because fwe shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who athus hopes in him bpurifies himself as he is pure.
