1JN 3:1

1 [Think about] how much our [heavenly] Father loves us! He allows us to ◄say that we are/be called► his children! [And it is indeed true that] we are [his children. But people in] the world [MTY] [who are unbelievers] have not understood [who] God [is]. So they do not understand [who we are], that we [belong to God].
