And now, little children, abide in him, that when he shall appear we may have confidence and not be confounded by him at his coming. 29If you know that he is just, know ye, that every one also who doth justice is born of him. 1Behold what manner of charity the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called and should be the sons of God. Therefore the world knoweth not us, because it knew not him. 2Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God: and it hath not yet appeared what we shall be. We know that when he shall appear we shall be like to him: because we shall see him as he is. 3And every one that hath this hope in him sanctifieth himself, as he also is holy.
