Popular Bible Verses from 1 John 3

Dear children, let’s not love just with words or talk. Let’s really love, by doing something.

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ gave his life for us. So we should give our own lives for our brothers and sisters.

See what great love the Father has given us: We’re even called children of God! And that’s what we really are. The world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.

The person who does what is sinful belongs to the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the devil’s work.

No one who is God’s child will keep on sinning, because God’s life is growing inside them. They can’t go on sinning, because they’re God’s children.

If anyone sees a brother or sister in need and they have the means to help them, but they don’t care about them enough to do anything, how can the love of God be in that person?

The one who obeys God’s commands lives in him, and he lives in them. Here’s how we know that God lives in us: We know it by the Holy Spirit he gave us.

Here’s how you can tell the difference between God’s children and the devil’s children. Anyone who doesn’t do what is right isn’t God’s child, and anyone who doesn’t love their brother or sister isn’t God’s child either.

We’ve heard from the beginning that we should love one another.

My brothers and sisters, don’t be surprised if the world hates you.
