1 John 3:4-12

4Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness—indeed, sin is lawlessness.

5You know that Yeshua appeared in order to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.

6No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who sins has seen Him or known Him.

7Children, let no one mislead you! The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Yeshua is righteous.

8The one who practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. Ben-Elohim appeared for this purpose—to destroy the works of the devil.

9No one born of God practices sin, because God’s seed remains in him. He cannot sin, because he is born of God.

10It is clear who are the children of God and who are the children of the devil by this—anyone who does not act righteously or love his brother is not of God.

11For this is the message you have heard from the beginning—we should love one another.

12Do not be like Cain, who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his deeds were evil, while his brother’s were righteous.
