No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God's child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.
John 1:13 --children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. (see verses 1-18)
James 1:18 He (the Father) chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created. (see verses 16-18)
1 Peter 1:23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. (see all chapter 1)
1 John 3:6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. (see verses 4-8)
1 John 5:18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them. (see verses 13-21)
Psalm 119:1-3 Blessed are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD. Blessed are those who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart--they do no wrong but follow his ways. (see verses 1-8)
Matthew 22:37-40 Jesus replied, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' (Deuteronomy 6:5). This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (Leviticus 19:18). All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
