Matthew 3:7
7But when he saw many of athe Pharisees and bSadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, c“You brood of dvipers! Who warned you to flee from ethe wrath to come?John 8:41
41You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, f“We were not born of sexual immorality. We have gone Father—even God.”John 8:44
44 hYou are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. iHe was a murderer from the beginning, and jdoes not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. kWhen he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.1 John 3:8-10
8 lWhoever 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 mto destroy the works of the devil. 9 nNo 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, pnor is the one who qdoes not love his brother.
