"See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we
would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason
the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved,
now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we
will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because
we will see Him just as He is. And everyone who has this hope fixed
on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure" (1 John 3:1-3).
