3 Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
4 Everyone practicing sin also practices lawlessness—indeed, sin is lawlessness.
5 You know that Yeshua appeared in order to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin.
6 No one who abides in Him keeps on sinning; no one who sins has seen Him or known Him.
7 Children, let no one mislead you! The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Yeshua is righteous.
8 The one who practices sin is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. Ben-Elohim appeared for this purpose—to destroy the works of the devil.
9 No one born of God practices sin, because God’s seed remains in him. He cannot sin, because he is born of God.
