[7] Little children, no man deceive he that doeth righteousness righteous, even as he righteous. [8] He that committeth sin of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. [9] Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
