4EveryoneG3956 who practicesG4160 sinG266 alsoG2532 practicesG4160 lawlessnessG458; and 1sinG266 is lawlessnessG458.

5You knowG3609 that He 2appearedG5319 in orderG2443 to 3takeG142 awayG142 sinsG266; and 4in Him there is noG3756 sinG266.

6NoG3956G3756 oneG3956 who abidesG3306 in Him 5sinsG264; noG3956G3756 oneG3956 who sinsG264 has seenG3708 Him orG3761 67knowsG1097 Him.

78LittleG5040 childrenG5040, make sure noG3367 oneG3367 9deceivesG4105 you; 10the one who practicesG4160 righteousnessG1343 is righteousG1342, justG2531 as He is righteousG1342;
