1 John 3:8-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
8 The one doing sin is of the devil, because the devil is sinning[a] from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this: that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Everyone having been born[b] from God is not doing sin— because His seed[c] is abiding in him, and he is not able to be sinning[d] because he has been born from God. 10 By this, the children of God and the children of the devil are evident.
Abiding Means Loving In Deed And Truth, As Jesus Commanded Us
Everyone not doing[e] righteousness is not from God— and the one not loving his brother!
