1 John 3:2-8
-
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
-
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
-
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
-
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
-
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
-
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
-
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
