1 John 3:5

Children Of God

⁴ Every person who practices a life of sin is also breaking [God's] law, for sin is law-breaking. ⁵ But, you [should] know that Christ appeared [on earth] to take away [our] sins, and that there is no sin in His life [See II Cor. 5:21]. ⁶ No person who lives in [fellowship with] Christ will continue living a sinful life; the one who keeps on sinning [however], has not seen Him or known Him [as his personal Savior].
