All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

We know that every man who has been begotten from God does not sin, but he who was begotten from God keeps himself, and the evil does not touch him.

Do not be like Cain, who was from the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because what he was doing was evil and his brother's actions were righteous.

and the world is passing away and with it the evil longings it incites, but whoever perseveres in doing God's will lives on forever.

The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one, because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil has been doing.

Every man doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

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

Little children, let no man lead you astray. He who is doing righteousness is righteous, just as that man is righteous.

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.

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.
