1 John 3:8-9

8 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one, because the devil has been sinning since the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy the works of the devil.Gen 3:15; Matt 13:38; Luke 10:18; John 8:44; 16:11; Heb 2:14 9 No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God's ^{▼▼Lit. his} seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God.1Pet 1:23; 1John 5:18
