G3165–μέ–me

They have gone forth from our midst, but they did not really belong to us; for had they belonged to us, they would have remained with us. But they left us that it might be manifest that professed believers do not all belong to us.

ἡμῶν hēmōn “us”ἡμῶν· hēmōn “us;”ἡμῶν hēmōn “us”ἡμῶν· hēmōn “us;”ἡμῶν. hēmōn “us.”

And this is the promise which He Himself has given us--the Life of the Ages.

ἡμῖν, hēmin “us:”

See what marvellous love the Father has bestowed upon us--that we should be called God's children: and that is what we are. For this reason the world does not recognize us--because it has not known Him.

ἡμῖν hēmin “to us”ἡμᾶς, hēmas “us,”

And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.

ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”

Do not be surprised, brethren, if the world hates you.

μου, mou “of mine”

As for us, we know that we have already passed out of death into Life--because we love our brother men. He who is destitute of love continues dead.

ἡμεῖς hēmeis “We ourselves”

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.

ἡμῶν hēmōn “us”ἡμεῖς hēmeis “we ourselves”

Dear children, let us not love in words only nor with the lips, but in deed and in truth.

μου, mou “of mine”

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

ἡμῶν, hēmōn “of us,”

in whatever matters our hearts condemn us--because God is greater than our hearts and knows everything.

ἡμῶν hēmōn “our”ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have perfect confidence towards God;

ἡμῶν hēmōn “of us”ἡμῶν, hēmōn “us”

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.

ἡμῖν. hēmin “to us.”

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.

ἡμῖν, hēmin “us,”ἡμῖν hēmin “to us”

The man who is beginning to know God listens to us, but he who is not a child of God does not listen to us. By this test we can distinguish the Spirit of truth from the spirit of error.

ἡμεῖς hēmeis “We ourselves”ἡμῶν· hēmōn “us;”ἡμῶν. hēmōn “us.”

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.

ἡμῖν, hēmin “us,”

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.

ἡμεῖς hēmeis “we ourselves”ἡμᾶς hēmas “us”ἡμῶν. hēmōn “of us.”

Dear friends, if God has so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

ἡμᾶς, hēmas “us,”ἡμεῖς hēmeis “we ourselves”

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.

ἡμῖν hēmin “us”ἡμῖν hēmin “us”

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.

ἡμῖν, hēmin “us,”ἡμῖν. hēmin “to us.”

And we have seen and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

ἡμεῖς hēmeis “we ourselves”

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.

ἡμεῖς hēmeis “we ourselves”ἡμῖν. hēmin “us.”

Our love will be manifested in all its perfection by our having complete confidence on the day of the Judgement; because just what He is, we also are in the world.

ἡμῶν, hēmōn “us,”ἡμεῖς hēmeis “we ourselves”

We love because God first loved us.

ἡμεῖς hēmeis “We ourselves”ἡμᾶς. hēmas “us.”

For every child of God overcomes the world; and the victorious principle which has overcome the world is our faith.

ἡμῶν. hēmōn “of us.”

And that testimony is to the effect that God has given us the Life of the Ages, and that this Life is in His Son.

ἡμῖν hēmin “to us”
