New American Standard Bible 1995
1 John 3:3-10
3And everyone who has this 1hope fixed on Him 2purifies himself, just as He is pure.
4Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and 3sin is lawlessness. 5You know that He 4appeared in order to 5take away sins; and 6in Him there is no sin. 6No one who abides in Him 7sins; no one who sins has seen Him or 89knows Him. 710Little children, make sure no one 11deceives you; 12the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the one who practices sin is 13of the devil; for the devil 14has sinned from the beginning. 15The Son of God 16appeared for this purpose, 17to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one who is 1819born of God 20practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is 21born of God. 10By this the 22children of God and the 23children of the devil are obvious: 24anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who 25does not love his 26brother.
