And everyone who (A)thus hopes in him (B)purifies himself as he is pure.

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; (C)sin is lawlessness. You know that (D)he appeared in order to (E)take away sins, and (F)in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; (G)no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Little children, (H)let no one deceive you. (I)Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. (J)Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was (K)to destroy the works of the devil. (L)No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's[a] seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, (M)nor is the one who (N)does not love his brother.

  1. 1 John 3:9 Greek his

And everyone having this tikvah (hope) in Him keeps himself in tohorah (purification, keeps himself pure), even as that One is tahor. [TEHILLIM 18:26]

Everyone practicing chet also does averah, and chet is averah al HaTorah.

And you have da’as that that One niglah (is revealed) that chata’einu (our sins) He might take away [YESHAYAH 53:4,12], and chet in Him is not. [YESHAYAH 53:9]

Everyone making his maon in Him does not go on sinning; everyone sinning has not seen Him nor has had da’as of Him.

Yeladim, let no [navi sheker, 1Y 4:1] deceive you; the one practicing tzedek is tzodek, even as that One is Tzaddik.

The one practicing averos is of Hasatan, because from the beginning Hasatan sins. For this tachlis was made hisgalus of the Ben HaElohim, that he might destroy the pe’ulot Hasatan.

Everyone having been born of Hashem is not practicing chet, because His Zera makes maon in him, and he cannot abide sinning, because he is born of Hashem. [TEHILLIM 119:3]

10 By this is made hisgalus of the yeladim of Hashem and the yeladim of Hasatan: everyone not practicing tzedek is not of Hashem; also the one not having ahavah for his Ach b’Moshiach.

Dear children,(I) do not let anyone lead you astray.(J) The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous.(K) The one who does what is sinful is of the devil,(L) because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God(M) appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.(N) No one who is born of God(O) will continue to sin,(P) because God’s seed(Q) remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God(R) are and who the children of the devil(S) are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love(T) their brother and sister.(U)
