1 John 3:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Dear children,
do not let anyone deceive you.
Everyone who does what is right is righteous,
just as he is righteous.
⁸ Everyone who sins comes from the devil,
for the devil has been a sinner
from the very beginning.
The Son of God appeared for this very purpose:
to destroy the work of the devil.
⁹ Whoever is born of God
does not sin,
because his seed^[a] remains in him.
He cannot sin
because he is begotten by God.
