1 John 3:7-9
English Standard Version
7 Little children, (A)let no one deceive you. (B)Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 (C)Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was (D)to destroy the works of the devil. 9 (E)No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's[a] seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.
