1 John 3:8-10 He who is practicing sin is from the devil, because the devil sins from the beginning, to this end the Son of God was manifested, in order that he might tear-down the works of the devil.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁸ He who is practicing sin is from the devil, because the devil sins from the beginning, to this end the Son of God was manifested, in order that he might tear-down the works of the devil. ⁹ Everyone who has been born from God does not practice sin, because his seed abides in him and he is not able to practice sin, because he has been born from God. ¹⁰ The children of God and the children of the devil are apparent in this, everyone who does not practice righteousness is not from God and he who does not love his brother.
