1 Beholde what loue the father hath shewed on vs, that we shoulde be called the sonnes of god: For this cause the worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not hym. 2 Dearely beloued, nowe are we the sonnes of God, and yet it doth not appeare what we shalbe: But we knowe that when he shall appeare, we shalbe lyke hym, for we shall see hym as he is. 3 And euery man that hath this hope in hym, purgeth hym selfe, euen as he also is pure. 4 Whosoeuer committeth sinne, transgresseth also the lawe: for sinne is the transgression of the lawe. 5 And ye know that he appeared to take away our sinnes, & in hym is no sinne. 1 John 3:1-5, Bishops' Bible of 1568.
