[8] The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was *to destroy the devilβs work* [9]
*No one who is born of God will continue to sin*, because Godβs seed 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 are and who the children of the devil are:
*Anyone who does not do what is right is not Godβs child*, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.πβοΈπ
