1 John 3:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 Everyone who remains in Him(A) does not sin;[a](B) everyone who[b] sins has not seen Him or known Him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you! The one who does what is right is righteous, just as He is righteous. 8 The one who commits[c] sin is of the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God(C) was revealed(D) for this purpose: to destroy the Devil’s works.
