Children Of God

6 Whoever continually abides in him does not habitually sin; whoever lives in sin has not seen him, nor come to know him. 7 My children, let no one deceive you; he who is working righteousness is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 He who is committing sin is of the devil, because from the beginning of the devil is sinning. It was for this cause that the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
