1 John 3:3-10

3AndG2532 everyoneG3956 whoG3588 hasG2192 thisG3778 hopeG1680 inG1909 HimG846 purifiesG48 himselfG1438, just asG2531 Christ isG1510 pureG53.1

4EveryoneG3956 whoG3588 practicesG4160 sinG266 practicesG4160 lawlessnessG458 as wellG2532. IndeedG2532, sinG266 isG1510 lawlessnessG458.2 5But you knowG1492 thatG3754 Christ appearedG5319 toG2443 take awayG142 sinsG266, andG2532 inG1722 HimG846 there isG1510 noG3756 sinG266. 6No oneG3956G3756 whoG3588 remainsG3306 inG1722 HimG846 keeps on sinningG264. No oneG3956G3756 whoG3588 continues to sinG264 has seenG3708 HimG846 or knownG1097 HimG846.

7Little childrenG5040,3 let no oneG3367 deceiveG4105 youG4771: TheG3588 one who practicesG4160 righteousnessG1343 isG1510 righteousG1342, just asG2531 Christ isG1510 righteousG1342.4 8TheG3588 one who practicesG4160 sinG266 isG1510 ofG1537 theG3588 devilG1228, becauseG3754 theG3588 devilG1228 has been sinningG264 fromG575 the very startG746. This is whyG1519G3778 theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316 was revealedG5319, toG2443 destroyG3089 theG3588 worksG2041 of theG3588 devilG1228.

9AnyoneG3956 bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 refuses to practiceG3756G4160 sinG266, becauseG3754 God’s seedG4690 abidesG3306 inG1722 himG846; he cannotG3756G1410 go on sinningG264, becauseG3754 he has been bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316. 10ByG1722 thisG3778 theG3588 childrenG5043 of GodG2316 areG1510 distinguishedG5318 from theG3588 childrenG5043 of theG3588 devilG1228: AnyoneG3956 whoG3588 does not practiceG3361G4160 righteousnessG1343 isG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316, nor is anyone whoG3588 does not loveG3361G25 hisG846 brotherG80.
