1 John 3:2-4

Lexham English Bible

² Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been revealed. We know that whenever he is revealed we will be like him, because we will see him just as he is. ³ And everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that one is pure.

⁴ Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.
