1 John 3:6-9

6No one who remains in Him 1sins continually; no one who sins continually 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 been sinning from the beginning. 9The Son of God 10appeared for this purpose, 11to destroy the works of the devil.

9No one who has been 12born of God practices sin, because His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin continually, because he has been born of God.
