31See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2Beloved, we are Gods children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed. What we do know is this: when he* is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is. 3And all who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
11 For this is the message you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 16We know love by this, that he laid down his life for usand we ought to lay down our lives for one another.
