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.

Lexham English Bible
7 Little children, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this reason the Son of God was revealed: in order to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Everyone who is fathered by God does not practice sin, because his seed resides in him, and he is not able to sin, because he has been fathered by God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil are evident: everyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, namely, the one who does not love his brother.
