G3754H–ὅτι–hoti

I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has existed from the very beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong and God's Message still has a place in your hearts, and you have overcome the Evil one.

ὅτι hoti “because”ὅτι hoti “because”

For the things in the world--the cravings of the earthly nature, the cravings of the eyes, the show and pride of life--they all come, not from the Father, but from the world.

ὅτι hoti “because”

I have written to you, not because you are ignorant of the truth, but because you know it, and you know that nothing false comes from the truth.

ὅτι hoti “because”ὅτι hoti “because”

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.

ὅτι hoti “because”

Dear friends, we are now God's children, but what we are to be in the future has not yet been fully revealed. We know that if Christ reappears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.

ὅτι hoti “for”

He who is habitually guilty of sin is a child of the Devil, because the Devil has been a sinner from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for the purpose of undoing the work of the Devil.

ὅτι hoti “because”

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.

For this is the Message you have heard from the beginning--that we are to love one another.

ὅτι hoti “For”

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.

ὅτι hoti “Because”

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.

ὅτι hoti “because”

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.

ὅτι hoti “because”

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

ὅτι hoti “because”

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but put the spirits to the test to see whether they are from God; for many false teachers have gone out into the world.

ὅτι hoti “because”

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.

ὅτι hoti “because”

Dear friends, let us love one another; for love has its origin in God, and every one who loves has become a child of God and is beginning to know God.

ὅτι hoti “because”

He who is destitute of love has never had any knowledge of God; because God is love.

ὅτι hoti “because”

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.

ὅτι hoti “because”

Love has in it no element of fear; but perfect love drives away fear, because fear involves pain, and if a man gives way to fear, there is something imperfect in his love.

ὅτι hoti “because”

We love because God first loved us.

ὅτι hoti “because”

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

ὅτι hoti “For”

Jesus Christ is He who came with water and blood; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. And it is the Spirit who gives testimony-- because the Spirit is the Truth.

ὅτι hoti “because”

For there are three that give testimony-- the Spirit, the water, and the blood;

ὅτι hoti “For”

If we accept the testimony of men, God's testimony is greater: for God's testimony consists of the things which He has testified about His Son.

ὅτι hoti “For”

He who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in his own heart: he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, in that he has refused to accept the testimony which God has given about His Son.
