1 John 3:5-10

5And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.

6Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him.

7Children, let no man lead you astray; he that practises righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

8He that practises sin is of the devil; for from [the] beginning the devil sins. To this end the Son of 1God has been manifested, that he might undo the works of the devil.

9Whoever has been begotten of 2God does not practise sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of 3God.

10In this are manifest the children of 4God and the children of the devil. Whoever does not practise righteousness is not of 5God, and he who does not love his brother.
