1 John 3:1-3
Third Sunday of Advent – A Women’s Lectionary
1 SeeA what loveB the Father has givenC us,
that we should be calledD childrenE of God;F and that is what we are.
The reasonG the worldH does not knowI us is that it did not know him.
2 Beloved,J we are God’s children now; what we will be has not yet been revealed.K What we do knowL is this: when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.
3 And all who have this hopeM in him purifyN themselves, just as he is pure.O
