1 John 5:18-20
New King James Version
Knowing the True—Rejecting the False
18 We know that (A)whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God (B)keeps[a] [b]himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
19 We know that we are of God, and (C)the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one.
20 And we know that the (D)Son of God has come and (E)has given us an understanding, (F)that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. (G)This is the true God (H)and eternal life.

1 John 5:18-20
American Standard Version
18 We know that whosoever is begotten of God sinneth not; but he that was begotten of God keepeth [a]himself, and the evil one toucheth him not. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in the evil one. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
