Children Of God
6 No one who maintains union with him lives in sin; no one who lives in sin has ever really seen him or learned to know him. 7 My Children, do not let any one mislead you. He who lives righteously is righteous--as Christ is righteous. 8 He who lives sinfully belongs to the Devil, for the Devil has sinned from the first. It was for this that the Son of God appeared, that he might undo the Devil's work.
