1 John 3:7-10
Christian Standard Bible
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[a] sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God(A) was revealed(B) for this purpose: to destroy the devil’s works. 9 Everyone who has been born of God(C) does not sin,[b] because his seed(D) remains in him; he is not able to sin,[c] because he has been born of God. 10 This is how God’s children and the devil’s children become obvious. Whoever does not do what is right is not of God, especially the one who does not love his brother or sister.(E)

1 John 3:7-10
International Standard Version
7 Little children, don’t let anyone deceive you. The person who practices righteousness is righteous, just as the Messiah[a] is righteous. 8 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil has been doing. 9 No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God’s[b] seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God. 10 This is how God’s children and the Devil’s children are distinguished.[c] No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God.
