1 John 3:1

See what an incredible quality of love the Father has shown to us, that we would [be permitted to] be named and called and counted the children of God! And so we are! For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

What marvelous love the Father has extended to us! Just look at it—we’re called children of God! That’s who we really are. But that’s also why the world doesn’t recognize us or take us seriously, because it has no idea who he is or what he’s up to. 2-3 But friends, that’s exactly who we are: children of God. And that’s only the beginning. Who knows how we’ll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we’ll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. All of us who look forward to his Coming stay ready, with the glistening purity of Jesus’ life as a model for our own. 4-6 All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God’s order. Surely you know that Christ showed up in order to get rid of sin. There is no sin in him, and sin is not part of his program. No one who lives deeply in Christ makes a practice of sin. None of those who do practice sin have taken a good look at Christ. They’ve got him all backward. 7-8 So, my dear children, don’t let anyone divert you from the truth. It’s the person who acts right who is right, just as we see it lived out in our righteous Messiah. Those who make a practice of sin are straight from the Devil, the pioneer in the practice of sin. The Son of God entered the scene to abolish the Devil’s ways. 9-10 People conceived and brought into life by God don’t make a practice of sin. How could they? God’s seed is deep within them, making them who they are. It’s not in the nature of the God-begotten to practice and parade sin. Here’s how you tell the difference between God’s children and the Devil’s children: The one who won’t practice righteous ways isn’t from God, nor is the one who won’t love brother or sister. A simple test.

See [a]how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

Mirad qué grande es el amor del Padre, que nos llamamos hijos de Dios, ¡y lo somos! Sin embargo, el mundo no nos reconoce porque no conoce a Dios.

See what amazing love the Father has given us! Because of it, we are called children of God. And that’s what we really are! The world doesn’t know us because it didn’t know him.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

See how very much our Father loves us, for he calls us his children, and that is what we are! But the people who belong to this world don’t recognize that we are God’s children because they don’t know him.

Adɔfonom, eyi ne krataa a ɛtɔ so abien a makyerɛw abrɛ mo. Mekyerɛwee sɛ mede rebɛkae mo, de akanyan mo adwene.

تَأَمَّلُوا مَا أَعْظَمَ الْمَحَبَّةَ الَّتِي أَحَبَّنَا بِها الآبُ حَتَّى صِرْنَا نُدْعَى «أَوْلادَ اللهِ»، وَنَحْنُ أَوْلادُهُ حَقّاً. وَلَكِنْ، بِمَا أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْعَالَمِ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ اللهَ، فَهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَنَا.

Hunahunaa ninyo kon unsa kadako ang paghigugma sa Amahan kanato! Gitawag niya kita nga iyang mga anak, ug tinuod gayod kini. Wala makaila kanato ang mga tawo dinhi sa kalibotan tungod kay wala man sila makaila sa Dios.

Jak nás Otec miluje! Přijal nás za syny a dcery. Lidé nás často nechápou, protože Boha neznají.

Tænk, hvor højt Gud Fader elsker os! Vi må kaldes hans børn, og det er vi! De, der tilhører denne verden, forstår os ikke, fordi de ikke forstår, hvem Jesus[a] er.

Seht doch, wie sehr uns der Vater geliebt hat! Seine Liebe ist so groß, dass er uns seine Kinder nennt – und wir sind es wirklich! Als seine Kinder sind wir Fremde für diese Welt, weil Gott für sie ein Fremder ist.

¡Fijaos qué gran amor nos ha dado el Padre, que se nos llama hijos de Dios! ¡Y lo somos! El mundo no nos conoce, precisamente porque no lo conoció a él.

¡Fíjense qué gran amor nos ha dado el Padre, que se nos llame hijos de Dios! ¡Y lo somos! El mundo no nos conoce, precisamente porque no lo conoció a él.

Voyez combien le Père nous a aimés pour que nous puissions être appelés enfants de Dieu – et nous le sommes ! Voici pourquoi le monde ne nous reconnaît pas : c’est parce qu’il n’a pas reconnu Dieu.

ראו מה רבה אהבת אלוהים אלינו – הוא אף קרא לנו "בני אלוהים"! ואין זה כינוי בלבד, אלא עובדה. לצערי, אנשים רבים אינם מאמינים באלוהים, ועל כן אינם מבינים כיצד אנו יכולים להיות בניו.

Hunahunaa ninyo kon daw ano ka dako ang paghigugma sang Amay sa aton! Ginatawag niya kita nga iya mga anak. Matuod gid nga kita iya mga anak. Gani wala nakakilala sa aton ang mga tawo diri sa kalibutan tungod kay wala man sila nakakilala sa Dios.

Gledajte koliku nam je ljubav Otac darovao: da se možemo nazvati Božjom djecom, a to i jesmo. Ali ljudi koji pripadaju ovom svijetu ne poznaju Boga, pa ne mogu ni razumjeti da smo mi njegova djeca.

Vedete dunque quanto ci ama Dio, nostro Padre, permettendoci di essere chiamati suoi figli! E lo siamo per davvero! Ma, siccome la maggioranza delle persone non conosce Dio, di conseguenza non può neppure capire che noi siamo suoi figli.

하나님 아버지께서 우리에게 베푸신 사랑이 얼마나 큰지 한번 생각해 보십 시오. 그 큰 사랑으로 우리는 하나님의 자녀가 되었습니다. 그러나 세상이 우리를 몰라보는 것은 그들이 아버지를 알지 못하기 때문입니다.

Tenk så stor kjærlighet Far i himmelen har vist oss når vi får kalle oss hans barn. Tenk at vi virkelig er det! De som tilhører denne onde verden, kjenner ikke Gud. Derfor kan de ikke forstå at vi er hans barn.

Wat heeft de Vader geweldig veel liefde voor ons! Wij héten niet alleen zijn kinderen, wij zíjn het ook. De mensen die God niet kennen, begrijpen daar niets van.

Pomyślcie o wielkiej miłości, którą obdarzył nas Ojciec: możemy się nazywać Jego dziećmi! I naprawdę nimi jesteśmy! Świat jednak nie rozumie nas, bo nie poznał Pana.

Vejam como é grande o amor que o Pai nos concedeu: sermos chamados filhos de Deus, o que de fato somos! Por isso o mundo não nos conhece, porque não o conheceu.

Vejam como o nosso Pai celestial nos ama, a ponto de permitir que sejamos chamados seus filhos! Mas o mundo não compreende que realmente sejamos seus filhos, porque não conhece a Deus.

¡Yaya Dios ima shina jatunta c'uyashcata ñucanchijtaca, Paipaj huahuacunata rurashcata yuyarichigari! ¡Chaimantami cai pachapaj cajcunaca, Paita mana rijsishcamanta, ñucanchijtapish mana rijsincuna!

Vedeţi ce dragoste mare ne-a dăruit Tatăl: să fim numiţi copii ai lui Dumnezeu. Şi suntem! De aceea nu ne cunoaşte lumea: pentru că nu L-a cunoscut nici pe El.

Посмотрите, какую великую любовь дал нам Небесный Отец, чтобы мы были названы детьми Его! И мы действительно Его дети! Мир потому нас не знает, что не познал Его.

Посмотрите, какую великую любовь дал нам Небесный Отец, чтобы мы были названы детьми Его! И мы действительно Его дети! Мир потому нас не знает, что не познал Его.

Посмотрите, какую великую любовь дал нам Небесный Отец, чтобы мы были названы детьми Его! И мы действительно Его дети! Мир потому нас не знает, что не познал Его.

Посмотрите, какую великую любовь дал нам Отец, чтобы мы были названы детьми Бога! И мы действительно Его дети! Мир потому нас не знает, что не познал Его.

Ako veľmi nás náš nebeský Otec miluje! Prijal nás za synov a dcéry, a my nimi naozaj sme. Ľudia nás často nechápu, lebo nepoznajú Boha.

Tänk vilken kärlek Fadern har visat oss när vi får kallas Guds barn, och det är vi verkligen! Världen känner oss inte, därför att den inte har lärt känna honom.

Tazameni jinsi Baba alivyotupenda mno, hata tukaitwa watoto wa Mungu! Na hivyo ndivyo tulivyo. Watu wa ulimwengu hawatutambui kwa sababu hawakumjua Mungu.

ความรักที่พระบิดาทรงมีต่อเราทั้งหลายนั้นใหญ่หลวงปานใดในการที่เราได้ชื่อว่าบุตรของพระเจ้า! และเราก็เป็นเช่นนั้น! เหตุที่โลกไม่รู้จักเราก็เพราะโลกไม่รู้จักพระองค์

你们看，父上帝何等爱我们，称我们为祂的儿女！我们也实在是祂的儿女，世人之所以不认识我们，是因为他们不认识父上帝。

你 看 父 赐 给 我 们 是 何 等 的 慈 爱 ， 使 我 们 得 称 为 神 的 儿 女 ； 我 们 也 真 是 他 的 儿 女 。 世 人 所 以 不 认 识 我 们 ， 是 因 未 曾 认 识 他 。

你們看，父上帝何等愛我們，稱我們為祂的兒女！我們也實在是祂的兒女，世人之所以不認識我們，是因為他們不認識父上帝。
