1 John 3:3-7
English Standard Version
4Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.
5You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
6No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.
7Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous.
