1 John 3:5-10

5You knowG3609 that He 1appearedG5319 in orderG2443 to 2takeG142 awayG142 sinsG266; and 3in Him there is noG3756 sinG266. 6NoG3956G3756 oneG3956 who abidesG3306 in Him 4sinsG264; noG3956G3756 oneG3956 who sinsG264 has seenG3708 Him orG3761 56knowsG1097 Him. 77LittleG5040 childrenG5040, make sure noG3367 oneG3367 8deceivesG4105 you; 9the one who practicesG4160 righteousnessG1343 is righteousG1342, justG2531 as He is righteousG1342; 8the one who practicesG4160 sinG266 is 10of the devilG1228; for the devilG1228 11has sinnedG264 from the beginningG746. 12The SonG5207 of GodG2316 13appearedG5319 for thisG3778 purpose, 14to destroyG3089 the worksG2041 of the devilG1228. 9NoG3956G3756 oneG3956 who is 1516bornG1080 of GodG2316 17practicesG4160 sinG266, becauseG3754 His seedG4690 abidesG3306 in him; and he cannotG1410G3756 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is 18bornG1080 of GodG2316. 10By thisG3778 the 19childrenG5043 of GodG2316 and the 20childrenG5043 of the devilG1228 are obviousG5318: 21anyoneG3956 who does not practiceG4160 righteousnessG1343 is not of GodG2316, norG2532 the one who 22does not loveG25 his 23brotherG80.
