If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him.

And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure.

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Overcoming the World

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.

For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.

We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.
