¶ The .iii. Chapter.
Behold what love the father hath showed on us / that we should be called the sons of god. For this cause the world knoweth you not because it knoweth not him. Dearly beloved / now are we the sons of God / & yet it doth not appear what we shall be. But we know that when it shall appear / we shall be like him. For we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purgeth him self / even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin / committeth unrighteousness also / for sin is *unrighteousness. And ye know that he appeared to take away our since / and in him is no sin. As many as bide in him sin not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him / nether hath known him.
BEholde what love the father hath shewed on vs / that we shuld be called the sonnes of god. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not because it knoweth not him. Derely beloved / now are we ye sonnes of God / & yet it dothe not appere what we shalbe. But we knowe that when it shall appere / we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se him as he is. And every man that hath thys hope in him pourgeth him silfe / even as he ys pure. Whosover committeth synne / committeth vnrighteousnes also / for synne is *vnrighteousnes. And ye knowe that he appered to take awaye oure synnes / and in him is no synne. As many as byde in him synne not: whosoever synneth hath not sene him / nether hath knowen him.
- *He that worketh righteousness / is borne of god & taught of his spirit.He that worketh ryghteousnes / is borne of god & taught of his spirite.
