1 John 3:8-10

8 Whoever continues to sin belongs to the Devil, because the Devil has sinned from the very beginning. The Son of God appeared for this very reason, to destroy what the Devil had done.
9 Those who are children of God do not continue to sin, for God's very nature is in them; and because God is their Father, they cannot continue to sin.
10 Here is the clear difference between God's children and the Devil's children: those who do not do what is right or do not love others are not God's children.
