1 John 3:6-10

6No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; ano one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7Little children, blet no one deceive you. cWhoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 dWhoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was eto destroy the works of the devil. 9 fNo one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s
Greek his
seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
10By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, hnor is the one who idoes not love his brother.
