Sin And the Child Of God 罪和上帝的孩子

4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 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. 10 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.

4 凡是犯罪的，也是行恶的；罪就是恶。 5 你们知道，基督曾经显现，是为了除去罪孽；在他里面并没有罪。 6 凡是住在基督里面的，就不继续犯罪；凡是继续犯罪的，就未曾看到他，也未曾认识他。7 孩子们哪，不要让任何人迷惑你们。行义的人是公义的，正如基督是公义的。8 继续犯罪的人属于魔鬼，因为魔鬼从起初就一直犯罪。为此，神的儿子显现了，是为了废除魔鬼的作为。 9 凡是由神所生的，不继续犯罪，因为神的种子住在他里面；他也不能继续犯罪，因为他是由神所生的。 10 从这一点，谁是神的儿女，谁是魔鬼的儿女就清清楚楚了。
