1 John 3:9 in Context — 1 John 3

7 Filhinhos, ninguém vos engane. Quem pratica a justiça é justo, assim como ele é justo.

8 Quem pratica o pecado é do diabo, pois o diabo peca desde o princípio. Para isto o Filho de Deus se manifestou, para desfazer as obras do diabo.

9 Todo aquele que é nascido de Deus não pratica o pecado, pois a sua semente reside nele; e não pode praticar o pecado, porque é nascido de Deus.

10 Nisto são reconhecíveis os filhos de Deus, e os filhos do diabo: todo aquele que não pratica a justiça, e não ama o seu irmão, não é de Deus.

11 Pois esta é a mensagem que ouvistes desde o princípio: que nos amemos uns aos outros.
