1 John 2:28-1 John 3:10 - God's Children
28 And now, little children, continue in him, that when he shall appear we may have boldness, and not be put to shame by him at his coming. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that every one who does righteousness has been born of him.
1 See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God. The world therefore knows us not, because it knew him not. 2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be. We know, that if he shall appear, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, as he is pure.
4 Every one that commits sin commits also wickedness, and sin is wickedness. 5 And we know that he was manifested to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. 6 No one that continues in him sins; no one that sins has seen him, or known him.
7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He that does righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous; 8 he that commits sin is of the devil, for the devil sinned from the beginning. For this was the Son of God manifested, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one that has been born of God commits sin, for his seed continues in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. 10 By this are the children of God manifest, and the children of the devil; no one that does not righteousness is of God, and no one that loves not his brother.
