1 John 3:1-3

1 See ^ewhat kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called ^fchildren of God; and so we are. The reason why ^gthe world does not know us is that ^hit did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are ⁱGod’s children ^jnow, and what we will be ^khas not yet appeared; but we know that ^lwhen he appears ^{▼▼Or when it appears} ⁿwe shall be like him, because ^owe shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who ^pthus hopes in him ^qpurifies himself as he is pure.
