1 John 3:4-10 (New Revised Standard)
4
Everyone who commits sin is guilty of lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
5
You know that he was revealed to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
6
No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him.
7
Little children, let no one deceive you. Everyone who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.
8
Everyone who commits sin is a child of the devil; for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.
9
Those who have been born of God do not sin, because God's seed abides in them; a they cannot sin, because they have been born of God.
10
The children of God and the children of the devil are revealed in this way: all who do not do what is right are not from God, nor are those who do not love their brothers and sisters. b
