1 John 5:18-20
World English Bible
18 We know that whoever is born of God doesn’t sin, but he who was born of God keeps himself, and the evil one doesn’t touch him. 19 We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. 20 We know that the Son of God has come, and has given us an understanding, that we know him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and 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.
