'Practices' in the Bible

If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness has been fathered by him.

Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

Little children, let no one deceive you: the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as that one is righteous.

The one who practices sin is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. For this [reason] the Son of God was revealed: in order to destroy the works of the devil.
