New Life Version
1 John 3:2-4
New Life Version
2 Dear friends, we are God’s children now. But it has not yet been shown to us what we are going to be. We know that when He comes again, we will be like Him because we will see Him as He is. 3 The person who is looking for this to happen will keep himself pure because Christ is pure.
4 The person who keeps on sinning is guilty of not obeying the Law of God. For sin is breaking the Law of God.
