3:1 BEholde what love the father hath shewed on vs/ that we shulde be called the sōnes of god. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not be cause it hath not knowen hī. BEholde what love the father hath shewed on vs that we shuld be called the sonnes of god. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not because it knoweth not him. BEholde what loue the father hath shewed on vs that we shuld be called the sonnes of God. For this cause the worlde knoweth you not/ because it knoweth not him. BEholde what loue the father hath shewed on vs, yt we shulde be called the childrē of God. Therfore ye worlde knoweth you not, because it knoweth not him.
3:2 Derely beloved/ nowe are we the sonnes of god/ ād yet it hath not apered what we shalbe. but we knowe that whē it shall apere/ we shalbe lyke hym. For we shall se hym as he is. Derely beloved/ now are we ye sonnes of God/ & yet it dothe not appere what we shalbe. But we knowe that when it shall appere/ we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se him as he is. Derely beloued/ now are we the sonnes of God/ and yet it doth not appere what we shalbe. But we knowe that when it shall appere/ we shalbe lyke him. For we shall se him as he is. Dearly beloued, we are now ye childrē of God, and yet hath it not appeared what we shalbe. But we knowe yt when he shal appeare, we shal be like him: for we shal se him as he is.
3:3 And every man that hath thys hope in hym/ pourgeth hym silfe/ even as he ys pure. And every man that hath thys hope in him pourgeth him silfe/ even as he ys pure.

3:4 Whosoever cōmitteth synne/ committeth vnrightewesnes also/ ād synne is vnrightewesnes. Whosover committeth synne/ committeth vnrighteousnes also/ for synne is vnrighteousnes.

3:5 and ye knowe that he apered to take awaye oure synnes/ and in hī is no synne. And ye knowe that he appered to take awaye oure synnes/ and in him is no synne. And ye knowe that he appered to take awaye oure synnes/ & in him is no synne. And ye knowe that he appeared to take awaye oure synnes: and in him is no synne.
3:6 As many as byde in hym/ synne not: whosoever synneth hath not sene hym/ nether hath knowen him. As many as byde in him synne not: whosoever synneth hath not sene him/ nether hath knowen him.
