Scripture Reading - 1 John 3:1-18 1See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does Inot know us is that it did not know him. 2Beloved, we are God's chil- ldren now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know thai OGuue ee ee Ree er ee eke eee eo Be ee ei nG het eon ta eos ecient Can Coe eeu Re ceca eae sin is lawlessness. 5You know that he appeared to take away sins, and uke auch Ch ke te st Contial ct et aianturerat) Cian ce eee cee teed eae eS children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8Whoever makes a practice of sinning is lof the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil IoNo one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed labides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been lborn of God. 10By this it is evident who are the children of God, and Iwho are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righ- Iteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. 1 For this is the message that you have heard from the beginning, Ithat we should love one another. 12We should not be like Cain, who Iwas of the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder im? Because his own deeds were evil and his brother's righteous. 3Do not be surprised, brothers, that the world hates you. 14We know hat we have passed out of death into life, because we love the broth- ers. Whoever does not love abides in death. 15 Everyone who hates his prother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life are aa RR OC RUC MRO Meera Ra mu ume nue ku goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, OC ert arene cum a aed cay ford or talk but in deed and in truth. veo AUN Lut) Were SN ket) Dec eue DT cag ctr ee Ae ere na cannot keep on sinning Retest eet ean stern ixehrer Pen Reflections for Worship NSS Cee NC gicy ORR Cen ime! ‘as already conquered sin!
