1 John 3:3-10

3And everyone who has this 1hope set 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 remains in Him 7sins continually; no one who sins continually has seen Him or 8 9knows Him. 7 10Little 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 been sinning from the beginning. 15The Son of God 16appeared for this purpose, 17to destroy the works of the devil. 9No one who has been 18born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin continually, because he has been born of God. 10By this the 19children of God and the 20children of the devil are obvious: 21anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who 22does not love his 23brother and sister.
