1 John 3

Gen Z: 1 John 3

1Yo, check it! The Father’s love is next level, calling us His kids. The world doesn’t vibe with us ‘cause it didn’t know Him, no cap.

2Fam, we’re the sons of God now, but we don’t even know what we’ll be yet. When He shows up, we gonna be like Him; we’ll see Him for real, periodt.

3Anyone with this hope in them is cleaning up their act, just like He’s pure, fr.

4If you’re sinning, you’re breaking the rules; sin is basically just that, no cap.

5You know He came to wipe away our sins; in Him, there’s zero sin, lit.

6If you’re chilling with Him, you ain’t sinning; if you’re sinning, you don’t really know Him, sus.

7Little homies, don’t let anyone fool you: if you’re doing right, you’re righteous, just like He is.

8If you’re out here sinning, you’re on that devil energy; the devil’s been about that since day one. The Son of God came to straight up wreck the devil’s schemes.

9Anyone born of God doesn’t sin; His vibe stays in them, and they can’t sin, ‘cause they’re born of God, fr.

10This is how you spot the kids of God and the kids of the devil: if you ain’t doing right, you’re not with God, and if you don’t love your bro, you’re sus.

11This is the tea we got from the jump: we gotta love each other, periodt.

12Not like Cain, who was on that wicked vibe and took out his bro. Why? ‘Cause he was doing evil stuff, while his brother was righteous.

13Don’t be shocked, fam, if the world throws shade at you.

14We know we’ve moved from death to life ‘cause we love our crew. If you don’t love your bro, you’re still in the dark, no cap.

15Anyone who hates their bro is basically a murderer, and you know no murderer’s got eternal life in them, fr.

16This is how we see God’s love: He laid down His life for us, so we gotta be ready to do the same for our crew.

17But if you’ve got the goods and see your bro in need but don’t help, how can God’s love be in you?

18Yo, little homies, let’s not just talk about love; we gotta show it in what we do and keep it real.

19And this is how we know we’re on the truth vibe and can chill with our hearts before Him.

20If our hearts are judging us, remember, God’s got us covered; He’s bigger than our feels and knows everything.

21Fam, if our hearts ain’t judging us, we can roll up to God with confidence, fr.

22And whatever we ask, we get from Him ‘cause we keep His rules and do what makes Him happy, no cap.

23This is the command, fam: believe in His Son Jesus and love each other, just like He told us to.

24Whoever keeps His commandments is vibing with Him, and He’s vibing with them. We know He’s in us by the Spirit He gave us, periodt.

KJV: 1 John 3

1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

2Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

3And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

4Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

11For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

12Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.

13Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.

14We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

15Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

16Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

17But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

18My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

19And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.

20For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

21Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

22And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

23And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

24And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
