1 John 5:17-19
EasyEnglish Bible

17 Any wrong thing that a person does is sin. But not all sins cause death.[a]

18 Nobody who has become a child of God continues to do wrong things. Instead, the Son of God keeps him safe.[b] Satan cannot do anything against a child of God. 19 We know that we belong to God. We know that Satan rules all the people who belong to this world.

Footnotes

  1. 5:17 ‘A sin that causes death’ is when someone does a bad thing that takes him completely away from life with God. A sin like that causes a person to die in their spirit, so that they can no longer live with God for ever.
  2. 5:18 Or: ‘God keeps his children safe.’
