1 John 3:5-8

Moffatt(i) 5 and you know he appeared to take [our] sins away. In him there is no sin; 6 anyone who remains in him does not sin — anyone who sins has neither seen nor known him. 7 Let no one deceive you, my dear children: he who practises righteousness is just, as He is just; 8 he who commits sin belongs to the devil, for the devil is a sinner from the very beginning. (This is why the Son of God appeared, to destroy the deeds of the devil.)
