G0846–αὐτός–autos

No one who continues in union with Him lives in sin: no one who lives in sin has seen Him or knows Him.

αὐτῷ autō “Him”αὐτὸν auton “Him”αὐτόν. auton “Him.”

No one who is a child of God is habitually guilty of sin. A God-given germ of life remains in him, and he cannot habitually sin--because he is a child of God.

αὐτοῦ autou “of Him”αὐτῷ autō “him”

By this we can distinguish God's children and the Devil's children: no one who fails to act righteously is a child of God, nor he who does not love his brother man.

αὐτοῦ· autou “of him;”

We are not to resemble Cain, who was a child of the Evil one and killed his own brother. And why did he kill him? Because his own actions were wicked and his brother's actions righteous.

αὐτοῦ· autou “of him;”αὐτόν; auton “him?”αὐτοῦ autou “of him”αὐτοῦ autou “of him”

Every one who hates his brother man is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has the Life of the Ages continuing in him.

αὐτοῦ autou “of him”αὐτῷ autō “him”

We know what love is--through Christ's having laid down His life on our behalf; and in the same way we ought to lay down our lives for our brother men.

αὐτοῦ autou “of Him”

But if any one has this world's wealth and sees that his brother man is in need, and yet hardens his heart against him--how can such a one continue to love God?

αὐτοῦ autou “of him”αὐτοῦ autou “of him”αὐτοῦ, autou “him,”αὐτῷ; autō “him?”

And in this way we shall come to know that we are loyal to the truth, and shall satisfy our consciences in His presence

αὐτοῦ autou “Him”

and whatever we ask for we obtain from Him, because we obey His commands and do the things which are pleasing in His sight.

αὐτοῦ, autou “Him,”αὐτοῦ autou “of Him”αὐτοῦ autou “Him”

And this is His command--that we are to believe in His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as He has commanded us to do.

αὐτοῦ autou “of Him”αὐτοῦ autou “of Him”

The man who obeys His commands continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him; and through His Spirit whom He has given us we can know that He continues in union with us.

αὐτοῦ autou “of Him”αὐτῷ autō “Him”αὐτὸς autos “He”αὐτῷ. autō “him.”

As for you, dear children, you are God's children, and have successfully resisted them; for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

αὐτούς, autous “them,”

They are the world's children, and so their language is that of the world, and the world listens to them. We are God's children.

God's love for us has been manifested in that He has sent His only Son into the world so that we may have Life through Him.

This is love indeed--we did not love God, but He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

αὐτὸς autos “He himself”αὐτοῦ autou “of Him”

No one has ever yet seen God. If we love one another, God continues in union with us, and His love in all its perfection is in our hearts.

αὐτοῦ autou “of Him”

We can know that we are continuing in union with Him and that He is continuing in union with us, by the fact that He has given us a portion of His Spirit.

Whoever acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God--God continues in union with him, and he continues in union with God.

αὐτῷ autō “him”αὐτὸς autos “he”

And, as for us, we know the love which God has for us, and we confide in it. God is love, and he who continues to love continues in union with God, and God continues in union with him.

αὐτῷ autō “him”

We love because God first loved us.

αὐτόν, auton “him”αὐτὸς autos “He himself”

If any one says that he loves God, while he hates his brother man, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother man whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

αὐτοῦ autou “of him”αὐτοῦ autou “of him”

And the command which we have from Him is that he who loves God must love his brother man also.

Every one who believes that Jesus is the Christ is a child of God; and every one who loves the Father loves also Him who is the Father's Child.
