1 John 3:1-3

Moffatt(i) 1 'Born of him!' Think what a love the Father has for us, in letting us be called 'children of God!' That is what we are. The world does not recognize us? That is simply because it did not recognize him. 2 We are children of God now, beloved; what we are to be is not apparent yet, but we do know that when he appears, we are to be like him — for we are to see him as he is. 3 And everyone who rests this hope on him, purifies himself as he is pure.
