Analysis of 1 John 3:1-7
There is hope in what has already been done by God on earth and the hope is shown from the first two verses of chapter 3. The text begins with the love of God which was given to us and the result of the love which is given to us by God is being called Gods children. It is not pretense or a wishing, but we are what God wants us to be in our future. God is able to call us his children and the declaration makes us be his children. The question raised while reading the first two verses is what are we before the eyes of God? We are the children of God by the love which the Father has accorded us. It is not by accomplishment that we are named the children of God.
Being called the children

This verse is a contradiction of most biblical writings. According to various theologists, verse 6 is denying the repetitive habits of sinning because of the present tense of the verb “sins”.
Reflection on plagiarism
There are different forms of plagiarism which might be hard for new students in colleges to understand. Copying from the internet without providing credit to the owner and paraphrasing of other peoples works. The most common type of plagiarism is failing to cite even when there are references being provided in the text. I support the issue of discouraging plagiarism and there should be effective measures taken for the students who are involved in plagiarism. One of the most effective measures to be taken to students who are involved in plagiarism is making sure that the students understand what is plagiarism and then given the assignment again to repeat. Another option is giving the students who are involved in plagiarism grade F. that is meant to make sure that the students are more serious when handling the various assignments given to them. The maximum mark which is awarded to the students who are involved in plagiarism after redoing should be 75% in order to encourage them to avoid plagiarizing their work in

The students can be suspended for two academic years by the disciplinary board and that can affect the rate of their success in the school activities. In order to ensure that plagiarism does not affect the live soft e various students, I propose that the forms of plagiarism should have different penalties and they should not be taken to be of the same level. That can make sure that the students avoid plagiarism and maintain high levels of academic honesty while doing their

    John’s, as I’ve translated it, starts with “In the beginning there was the word, and the word was of God, and God was the word”. Translation E matches closely with mine, the differences being “the Word was with God” (E, 1) and mine saying “of God”, and “the Word was God” (E, 1), mine saying “God was the Word”. The latter difference shows different emphasis. Translation E is emphasizing the Word itself with less emphasis on its divinity, whereas mine has focused on God, and the Word being “of God”. These are slight differences, and essentially communicate the same idea. However, in translation F there is a more glaring divergence. While it starts with “before the world was created, the Word already existed”, which is rather similar to my translation and, it continues to say “he was with God, and he was the same as God” (F, 1). Instead of repeating “Word”, this translation has given the Word a gender, and has personified it. In my translation, and in translation E, the Word is given a pronoun, and eventually the name Jesus Christ, but not until much later. Translation F has immediately articulated that the Word is a man “with God” (F, 2), leaving no room to assume the Word is anything else. My interpretation of λόγος, meaning the Word, is indeed much the same as that of translation F, and of E, that the Word does mean Jesus Christ. However, introducing the Word as a “he” so early on prompts unnecessary assumptions. “The Word” must be understood as “the Word”, it is the…

    According to the Oxford Dictionary “Plagiarism is the wrongful appropriation, stealing and publication of another author's language, thoughts, ideas, or expressions and the representation of them as one's own original work.” There are kind of people who don’t know what’s right or wrong and tend to copy someone else's work. And there are these other group of people who intentionally copy someone else’s work. No matter whether it’s intentional or unintentional Plagiarism is a really big offence and one could be behind the bars for doing so. College students usually end up doing such mistakes which leads to sanctions like penalties, suspension, and even expulsion. Students sometimes fail to understand the concept of what the topic is or too lazy to sit and think of an idea or liked someone else's work so much that they want to recreate it. “Google” is the solution for all their problems, is what they think, but they always fail to give credit to someone else’s work.…

    According to Lowe & Dougherty (2014), intentional plagiarism typically stems from fear of failure, poor planning/time management skills, or viewing the course material and the consequences of cheating as unimportant. Unintentional plagiarism is usually caused by a lack of understanding the use of proper citations when attempting to integrate ideas. The best way to avoid plagiarism is to learn the appropriate use of citations and the proper format for references. Understanding the difference between using someone else’s words in a direct quote and paraphrasing is important, as each method requires the information to be cited differently. Aside from learning the appropriate use of citations and references, it is necessary to understand the importance of course materials and the seriousness of the consequences for cheating. Learning proper time management skills will also help students to remain vigilant when citing sources used to support the information being…

    Plagiarism is not being truthful about your own work and trying to rewrite in a different way as if it was your own words. For example, copy information from the internet, not citing or paraphrase properly and not having a reference page. Yet, many people wonder why students plagiarize. I believe students plagiarize because some students wait until the last minute to do their work, rushing trying to turn in their assignment, not properly understanding how to cite, paraphrase, or use citations. However, other students just do not know how to write a paper properly and want their paper to sound different from their own writing.…

    It is seems that “Seneca College Academic Dishonesty” has a more clear and specific explanation of the punishments for plagiarism than George Brown College. Even though when ESL student or international student read “Seneca College Academic Dishonesty”, they can understand easily. As a result “Seneca College Academic Dishonesty” can give more strong self awakening to student than George Brown College. It is suggested for reducing plagiarism that professor and administration must have a positive and active attitude for the prevention and punishment of plagiarism. For example, professors have a responsibility to explain about plagiarism and can’t be lazy about punishing because of complicate bureaucratic and legal process. Also administration has to be fair and remind professors and students of the consequences of plagiarism (Pettigrew,…

    Plagiarism is the use of copying someone's words or ideas and using them as your own. For example, if you copy and paste a quote with no documentation of where you found it, that's plagiarism. It's illegal to plagiarize someone else's work as your own. However, the lack of knowledge some students have about plagiarism could effect their work. Unintentional plagiarism can be common because the student honestly believes they are doing nothing wrong. Although it is unintentional you should expect some suspicion from teachers.…
