3And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.
4Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.
5And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin.
6Anyone who is in him does no sin; anyone who is a sinner has not seen him and has no knowledge of him.
7My little children, let no man take you out of the true way: he who does righteousness is upright, even as he is upright;
8The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.
9Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.
