6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither knoweth him.

7[My] little children, let no man lead you astray: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous:

8he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9Whosoever is begotten of God doeth no sin, because his seed abideth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is begotten of God.

10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

11For this is the message which ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another:

12not as Cain was of the evil one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his works were evil, and his brother`s righteous.
