1 John 2:29-1 John 3:10 - Children Of God

29 If ye know that he is righteous, know ye that every man doing righteousness has been begotten of him.

1 Behold what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God. Because of this the world does not know you, because it did not know him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it is not yet made known what we will be. But we know that whenever he is made known we will be like him, because we will see him as he is. 3 And every man who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as that man is pure.

4 Every man doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 Every man abiding in him does not sin. Every man who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him.

7 Little children, let no man lead you astray. He who is doing righteousness is righteous, just as that man is righteous. 8 He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Every man who has been begotten of God is not doing sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God. 10 By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.
