1 John 3:3-6

New King James Version

^3 (A)And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

Sin and the Child of God

⁴ Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and ^(B)sin is lawlessness. ⁵ And you know ^(C)that He was manifested ^(D)to take away our sins, and ^(E)in Him there is no sin. ⁶ Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
