I John 5

Knowing the True—Rejecting the False

18 We know that *(1 Pet. 1:23); 1 John 3:9whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God *James 1:27keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

19 We know that we are of God, and *John 12:31; 17:15; Gal. 1:4the whole world lies undertheswayof the wicked one.
