1 John 5:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 (A)We know that (B)no one who has been born of God [a]sins; but He who was born of God (C)keeps him, and (D)the evil one does not (E)touch him. 19 (F)We know that (G)we are of God, and that (H)the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 And (I)we know that (J)the Son of God has come, and has (K)given us understanding so that we may know (L)Him who is true; and we (M)are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. (N)This is the true God and (O)eternal life.

International Standard Version
18 We know that the person who has been born from God does not go on sinning. Rather, the Son[a] of God protects them, and the evil one cannot harm them. 19 We know that we are from God and that the whole world lies under the control of the evil one. 20 We also know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know the true God.[b] We are in union with the one who is true, his Son Jesus the Messiah,[c] who is the true God and eternal life.
