1 John 3:3-13

Listen to 1 John 3:3-13
3 And everyone who has this 1hope fixed on Him 2purifies himself, just as He is pure.
4 Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and 3sin is lawlessness.
5 You know that He 4appeared in order to 5take away sins; and 6in Him there is no sin.
6 No * one who abides in Him 7sins; no * one who sins has seen Him or 8knows Him.
7 9Little children, make sure no one 10deceives you; 11the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous;
8 the one who practices sin is 12of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. 13The Son of God 14appeared for this purpose, 15to destroy the works of the devil.
9 No * one who is 16born of God 17practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot * sin, because he is born of God.
10 By this the 18children of God and the 19children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who 20does not love his 21brother.
11 22For this is the message 23which you have heard from the beginning, 24that we should love one another;
12 not as 25Cain, who was of 26the evil one and slew his brother. And for what reason did he slay him? Because 27his deeds were evil, and his brother's were righteous.
13 Do not be surprised, brethren, if 28the world hates you.
