1 John 3:6-9

6Everyone who resides in him does not sin; everyone who sins has neither seen him nor known him.

7Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Jesus is righteous.

8The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was revealed: to destroy the works of the devil.

9Everyone who has been fathered by God does not practice sin, because God’s seed resides in him, and thus he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God.
