rsv@1John:3:5 @ You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin.
rsv@1John:3:6 @ No one who abides in him sins; no one who sins has either seen him or known him.
rsv@1John:3:7 @ Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does right is righteous, as he is righteous.
rsv@1John:3:8 @ He who commits sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
