Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

2 Beloved, now we are children of God. It is not yet revealed what we will be; but we know that when he is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him just as he is.

3 Everyone who has this hope set on him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

4 Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

5 You know that he was revealed to take away our sins, and no sin is in him.

6 Whoever remains in him doesn’t sin. Whoever sins hasn’t seen him and doesn’t know him.
