1 JOHN 2:29 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”
If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him — knowledge (oida) of God's righteousness (dikaiosynē) implies recognition of who participates in that righteousness. Born of him (gennēō) describes spiritual generation; those practicing righteousness (poieo dikaiosynē) bear God's nature as children. Righteousness is the family resemblance.
