1 John 3:6-10

6No one who abides in Him 1sins; no one who sins has seen Him or 2 3knows Him. 7 4Little children, make sure no one 5deceives you; 6the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the one who practices sin is 7of the devil; for the devil 8has sinned from the beginning. 9The Son of God 10appeared for this purpose, 11to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one who is 12 13born of God 14practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is 15born of God. 10By this the 16children of God and the 17children of the devil are obvious: 18anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who 19does not love his 20brother.
