1 John 3:7-10
Legacy Standard Bible
7 (A)Little children, let no one (B)deceive you. (C)The one who does righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 The one who does sin is (D)of the devil, because the devil sins from the beginning. (E)The Son of God (F)was manifested for this purpose, (G)to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Everyone who has been [a](H)born of God (I)does not sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been [b]born of God. 10 By this the (J)children of God and the (K)children of the devil are manifested: everyone who does not do righteousness is not of God, as well as the one who (L)does not love his (M)brother.

1 John 3:7-10
American Standard Version
7 My little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous: 8 he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God. 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
