Children Of God
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth since the beginning. But for this cause appeared the son of God, even to destroy the works of the devil. 9 All that are born of God do no sin, for his seed abideth in them, and they cannot sin, because they be born of God. 10 And hereby are the sons of God known, and also the sons of the devil. All that work not righteousness, are not of God, nor he that loveth not his brother.
