1John
3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us, that
we should be called the sons of.(*).God;
therefore the world knows
us not, because it knew him not..(?)
1John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God
and it does 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.
1John
3:2.Let's look at
the word for word original and
paraphrase
the verse so it makes sense.
1John
3:3 And every man that has this hope in him purifies
himself, even as he.(Christ).is
pure.
1John 3:4 Whosoever commits sin transgresses also
the law. For sin is the transgression of the law.
1John
3:4 Whosoever commits.(original
'bring forth').sin.(and
one can bring forth sin by thinking that there is a spiritual standard
in relating to God, a standard of rules and regulations apart from the
law of love, so when he measures himself by the rule and regulations standard,
he sees he did not quite measure up, examples: one believes that he should
keep
the ancient Saturday
Sabbath day and perhaps also be tithing, but fails to do so properly
according to what his church has dictated
that he willy-nilly
accepted:.Acts
17:11).transgresses
also the.(word
'the' not in original).law,
for sin is the transgression of law.(saying
that sin {which is 'missing the mark'} is such because of law)..(?).(?)
1John 3:5 And you know that he was manifested to take
away our sins and
in him is no sin.
1John
3:5 And you know that he was manifested to
take away our sins and
in
him.is no sin.(or
'through Him', meaning, aligned with His nature of love is being in the
consciousness of away from any sin, because harmony cannot exist with inharmony;
you
are with His nature {*}
if you love).
1John 3:6 Whosoever abides in him sins not. Whosoever
sins has not seen him, neither known him.
1John
3:6 Whosoever abides.(is
in
alignment with the nature of love God has).in
him sins not.(or
as the original has it 'cannot sin', because He has abolished
all sin for all time {Romans 4:17},
sin now only exists in the minds of religious people who still need rules
and regulations to live by, where regulations to these people are more
important than the law of love and
this was similar to how the Pharisees in the time of Emmanuel on Earth
also thought:.Matthew
12:1-12). Whosoever sins has not seen
him, neither known him..(information
on 1John 3:2,3)
1John
3:7 Little children, let no man deceive
you. He that does.righteousness
is righteous, even as he.(God).is
righteous.
1John 3:8 He that commits sin is of the devil,
for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1John
3:8 He that commits sin.(what
the words 'sin, sins' really mean).is
of the devil, for the devil sins from the beginning.(?).
For this purpose the Son
of God was manifested, that he might destroy.(or,
as the original can also be rendered 'loosed' or released us, freed
us from being influenced by the dark side, verse 10).the
works
of the devil.
John
8:44.
1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit
sin, for his seed remains in him. And he cannot sin, because he is born
of God.
1John
3:9 Whosoever is born of God does not commit sin.(on
word 'sin' see verse 8 above), for his seed.(original
Greek is 'sperma', that from which life is generated).remains
in him.(that is, if
you are growing from Him, how can you miss the mark? you can't!).
And he cannot sin, because he is born of God..(?)
And all of
the 'missing the mark' for all time has been taken care of by
the blood of the One who
gave his life for all.
Explanation
of this verse continues.
1John
3:10 In this the
children of God are manifest
and the children of the devil. Whosoever
does
not righteousness
(righteousness is not what many think that it is).is
not of God, neither is he that loves not
his
brother.
1John
3:11 For this is the message that you heard from the beginning, that
we should love one another.
1John
3:12 Not as Cain.(Genesis
4:1-12; Hebrews 11:4),
who was of that wicked one.(the
dark side).and slew his brother.
And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil and his brother's
righteous.(one's
works were good, the other's
evil).
2Corinthians
10:12.
1John
3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love
the brethren. He that loves not his brother abides in death.
1John
3:15 Whosoever hates his brother is a murderer and you know
that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
1John 3:16.Hereby
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.
1John
3:16.Hereby
perceive.(original is
'to learn', 'knowledge grounded on personal experience':.Hebrews
6:1; *, that's why
we need life here).we the love of God.(since
God is this thing called love {*},
when we learn love, we learn God), because he laid down his life
for us and we ought to lay down our lives.(how?).for
the
brethren.
1John
3:17 But whoso has this world's good and sees.(original
denotes {indicates}, 'of one who looks at a thing with interest and for
a purpose').his brother have
need and shuts up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwells the love
of God in him?
1John
3:18.My
little children let us not love in word.(the
words or concepts
we may live our lives by).neither
in tongue.(what
we talk to others about), but in
deed and in truth.
James
2:15-18.
1John
3:19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth and shall assure.(original
is."persuade",
that is, are you comfortable in your mind with it? so
how
do you persuade your own heart?).our
hearts before him.
1John
3:20 For if our heart
condemn us, God is greater than our heart and
knows
all things.
As
humans we must realize that, as Paul had, we too
have
contradictory natures:.Romans
7:5-25.
1John
3:21 Beloved if our heart condemn us not then have we confidence
toward God.
2Chronicles
19:11.
1John 3:22 And whatsoever we ask we receive of him
because we keep his commandments and do those things that are pleasing
in his sight.
1John
3:22 And whatsoever we ask we receive of him because we keep his commandments.(what
commandments? the Old Testament rules and regulations are gone).and
do those things that are pleasing in his sight..(and
Christ did what was pleasing in Creator-Father's sight ?)
In order to
ask for something, you have a desire for it, so asking is the same as desiring,
when it comes to wanting from God.
1John
3:23 And this is his commandment,
That we should believe on the name of his Son Emmanuel the Christ and
love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1John
3:24 And he that keeps his commandments.(no
plural in original and fits better with this verse anyhow; see the two
verses just above).dwells in
him and he in him. And hereby we know that he abides.in
us, by the Spirit
which he has given us.
