6 whosoever adheres to him, sinneth not: whosoever sinneth, hath not seen him, he does not know him. 7 dear children, let no man deceive you: only he that acts justly is just, as he is just. 8 he that lives in sin, imitates the devil; for the devil was a sinner from the beginning, for this purpose the son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 whosoever is born of God, does not commit sin; for the divine principle remaineth in him: he will not sin, because he is born of God. 10 In this the children of God are distinguished from the children of the devil: he that does not practise virtue, and fraternal benevolence, is not of God. 1 John 3:6-10, Mace New Testament.
