“Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,”— 1 John 3:4 (LSV)
1See what love the Father has given to us, that we may be called children of God; because of this the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2Beloved, now, we are children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we will be. We have known that if He may have appeared, we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is;
3and everyone who is having this hope on Him, purifies himself, even as He is pure.
4Everyone who is doing sin, he also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness,
5and you have known that He appeared that He may take away our sins, and sin is not in Him;
6everyone who is remaining in Him does not sin; everyone who is sinning, has not seen Him, nor known Him.
7Little children, let no one lead you astray; he who is doing righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous,
