1128. Have hope or an expectation of future good

Have hope or an expectation of future good - 1 John 3:1-3, 1 John 3:18-20

1 John 3:1-3

3 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed (given to) upon us, (in order that) that we should be called the sons (descendants, children) of God: therefore (on account of this) the world (kosmos: this arrangement) knoweth (ginosko: experiential learning) us not, because it knew him not (expressing full and direct negation).

2 Beloved, now are we the sons (descendants, children) of God, and it doth not yet appear (to shine forth as to be seen) what we shall be: but we know that, when he (JC) shall appear (to shine forth as to be seen), we shall be like him; for we shall see him (with the eyes and look away from others, to regard) (even as) as he is.

3 And every man that hath this hope (expectation of future good) in (resting within) him purifieth (to make clean, pure, chaste, clean, not contaminated by anything) himself, even as he (JC) is pure (from every defilement).

1 John 3:18-20

18 My little children, let us not love (make much of a thing, regard with favor) in word (spoken word), neither in tongue (language); but in deed (work or labor) and in (upon) truth (as the revealed reality lying at the basis of, and agreeing with an appearance; essence of a matter).

19 And hereby (remaining within this) we know that we are of (out from the origin) the (upon) truth, and shall assure (have faith) our hearts before him.

20 For if our heart condemn (to think ill, to note against) us, God is greater (large, of physical magnitude) than our heart, and knoweth all things.
