1 John 5:18-21

New King James Version

Knowing the True—Rejecting the False

¹⁸ We know that ^(A)whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God ^(B)keeps^{[a] [b]}himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

¹⁹ We know that we are of God, and ^(C)the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.

²⁰ And we know that the ^(D)Son of God has come and ^(E)has given us an understanding, ^(F)that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. ^(G)This is the true God ^(H)and eternal life.

²¹ Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
