3
And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself just as He is pure.
4
Everyone who commits sin also breaks the law; sin is the breaking of law.
5
You know that He was revealed so that He might take away sins, and there is no sin in Him.
6
Everyone who remains in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has not seen Him or known Him.
7
Little children, let no one deceive you! The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous.
8
The one who commits sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the Devil's works.
9
Everyone who has been born of God does not sin, because His seed remains in him; he is not able to sin, because he has been born of God.
10
This is how God's children-and the Devil's children-are made evident. Whoever does not do what is right is not of God, especially the one who does not love his brother.
