Sin and the Child of God

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

^20 (A)To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because ^(B)there^[a] is no light in them.

⁷ And he ^(A)touched my mouth with it, and said:

¹⁹ Then ^(A)I will give them one heart, and I will put ^(B)a new spirit within ^[a]them, and take ^(C)the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, ^20 (D)that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; ^(E)and they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
