1 John 3:4-8

4Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.

5And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him.

6Anyone who continues to live in him will not sin. But anyone who keeps on sinning does not know him or understand who he is.

7Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous.

8But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil.
