1 John 5:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ We know that those who ·are God’s children [^Lare born of/begotten by God] do not ·continue to sin [^Lsin; 3:6, 9]. The ·Son of God [^Lthe one born of/begotten by God; ^CJesus] ·keeps them safe [protects them], and the Evil One [^Cthe Devil] cannot ·touch [harm] them. ¹⁹ We know that we ·belong to God [or are children of God; ^Lare of God], but the Evil One controls the whole world. ²⁰ We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we can know the True One. And ·our lives [^Lwe] are in the True One and in his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the true God and the eternal life.
