1 John 3:5-8

Goodspeed(i) 5 You know that he appeared to take our sins away, and that there is no sin in him. 6 No one who keeps in union with him sins. Anyone who sins has never seen him or come to know him. 7 Dear children, let no one mislead you; whoever acts uprightly is upright, just as he is upright. 8 Whoever commits sin is a child of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. This is why the Son of God appeared—to undo the devil's work.
