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.

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)
