1 John 3:8 Context
6Whosoeuer abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoeuer sinneth, hath not seene him, neither knowen him. 7Little children, let no man deceiue you: he that doth righteousnes, is righteous, euen as he is righteous. 8He that committeth sinne, is of the deuill, for the deuill sinneth from the beginning: for this purpose the Sonne of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the deuill. 9Whosoeuer is borne of God, doth not commit sinne: for his seede remaineth in him, and he cannot sinne, because he is borne of God. 10In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the deuill: whosoeuer doeth not righteousnesse, is not of God, neither hee that loueth not his brother.
