English Standard Version (Chapter 3)

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness.

Everyone who makes a practice of sinning:

Also practices lawlessness

Sin is lawlessness.

English Standard Version (Chapter 3)

You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

You know that he appeared:

In order to take away sins

In him there is no sin

No one who abides in him keeps on sinning

No one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.

English Standard Version (Chapter 3)

Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil

Little children:

Let no one deceive you

Whoever practices righteousness

Is righteous, as he is righteous

Whoever makes a practice of sinning

Is of the devil

For the devil has been sinning from the beginning

The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil

English Standard Version (Chapter 3)

No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.

No one born of God:

Makes a practice of sinning

For God’s seed abides in him

And he cannot keep on sinning

Because he has been born of God

By this it is evident who are the children of God

Who are the children of the devil:

Whoever does not practice righteousness

Is not of God

Nor is the one who does not love his brother
