1 John 3:7-9

Dear Beloved, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. And he who is in the habit of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. One reason the SON of GOD appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. No one born of GOD makes a practice of sinning, because GOD's seed lives in him. He cannot go on sinning because he has been born of God.
