1 John 3:4-12

4WhoeverG3956 committethG4160 sinG266 transgressethG4160G458 alsoG2532 the lawG458: forG2532 sinG266 isG2076 the transgression of the lawG458. 5AndG2532 ye knowG1492 thatG3754 heG1565 appearedG5319 toG2443 take awayG142 ourG2257 sinsG266; andG2532 inG1722 himG846 isG2076 noG3756 sinG266. 6WhoeverG3956 abidethG3306 inG1722 himG846 sinnethG264 notG3756: whoeverG3956 sinnethG264 hathG3708 notG3756 seenG3708 himG846, neitherG3761 knownG1097 himG846. 7Little childrenG5040, letG4105 no manG3367 deceiveG4105 youG5209: he that doethG4160 righteousnessG1343 isG2076 righteousG1342, even asG2531 heG1565 isG2076 righteousG1342. 8He that committethG4160 sinG266 isG2076 ofG1537 the devilG1228; forG3754 the devilG1228 sinnethG264 fromG575 the beginningG746. ForG1519 this purposeG5124 the SonG5207 of GodG2316 appearedG5319, thatG2443 he might destroyG3089 the worksG2041 of the devilG1228. 9WhoeverG3956 is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316 dothG4160 notG3756 commit sinG266; forG3754 hisG846 seedG4690 remainethG3306 inG1722 himG846: andG2532 he cannotG3756G1410 sinG264, becauseG3754 he is bornG1080 ofG1537 GodG2316.1 10InG1722 thisG5129 the childrenG5043 of GodG2316 areG2076 revealedG5318, andG2532 the childrenG5043 of the devilG1228: whoeverG3956 doethG4160 notG3361 righteousnessG1343 isG2076 notG3756 ofG1537 GodG2316, neitherG2532 he that lovethG25 notG3361 hisG846 brotherG80.

11ForG3754 thisG3778 isG2076 the messageG31 thatG3739 ye have heardG191 fromG575 the beginningG746, thatG2443 we should loveG25 one anotherG240.2 12NotG3756 asG2531 CainG2535, who wasG2258 ofG1537 that wicked oneG4190, andG2532 killedG4969 hisG846 brotherG80. AndG2532 whyG5484G5101 did he killG4969 himG846? BecauseG3754 his ownG846 worksG2041 wereG2258 evilG4190, andG1161 hisG846 brother’sG80 righteousG1342.
