New American Standard Bible 1995

1 John 3:7-10

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