1 John 3:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 [a]And every man that hath this hope in him purgeth himself, even [b]as he is pure.
4 [c]Whosoever [d]commiteth sin, transgresseth also the Law: for [e]sin is the transgression of the Law.
5 [f]And ye know that he was made manifest, that he might (A)take away our sins, and in him is no sin.

- 1 John 3:3 Now he describeth this adoption, (the glory whereof as yet consisteth in hope) by the effect, to wit, because that whosoever is made the Son of God, endeavoreth to resemble the Father in purity.
- 1 John 3:3 This word signifieth a likeness, but not in equality.
- 1 John 3:4 The rule of this purity can from no whence else be taken but from the Law of God, the transgression whereof is that which is called sin.
- 1 John 3:4 Giveth not himself to pureness.
- 1 John 3:4 A short definition of sin.
- 1 John 3:5 An argument taken from the material cause of our salvation: Christ in himself is most pure, and he came to take away our sins, by sanctifying us with the holy Ghost. Therefore, whosoever is truly partaker of Christ doth not give himself to sin: and so contrariwise he that giveth himself to sin knoweth not Christ.
