1 John 3:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 Whosoever abideth in him, sinneth not: whosoever [a]sinneth, hath not seen him, neither hath known him.
7 [b]Little children, let no man deceive you, he that doeth righteousness, is righteous, as he is righteous.
8 [c]He that (A)commiteth sin, is of the [d]devil: for the devil [e]sinneth from the [f]beginning: for this purpose was made manifest that Son of God, that he might loose the works of the devil.

- 1 John 3:6 He is said to sin, that giveth not himself to pureness, and in him sin reigneth, but sin is said to dwell in the faithful, and not to reign in them.
- 1 John 3:7 Another argument of things coupled together: He that liveth justly, is just, and resembleth Christ that is just, and by that is known to be the son of God.
- 1 John 3:8 An argument taken of contraries: the devil is the author of sin, and therefore he is of the devil, or is ruled by the inspiration of the devil that serve sin: and if he be the devil’s son, then is he not God’s son: for the devil and God are so contrary the one to the other, that even the Son of God was sent to destroy the works of the devil. Therefore on the contrary side, whosoever resists sin, is the Son of God, being born again of his spirit as of new seed, insomuch that of necessity he is now delivered from the slavery of sin.
- 1 John 3:8 Resembleth the devil, as the child doth the father, and is governed by his spirit.
- 1 John 3:8 He saith not sinned, but sinneth, for he did nothing else but sin.
- 1 John 3:8 From the very beginning of the world.
