4Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.


In Context

1 See what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the children of God. For this reason the world knows us not, because it knew him not.

2 Beloved, now are we children of God, and what we shall be has not yet been manifested; we know that if it is manifested we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.

3 And every one that has this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.

4 Every one that practises sin practises also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

5 And ye know that he has been manifested that he might take away our sins; and in him sin is not.

6 Whoever abides in him, does not sin: whoever sins, has not seen him or known him.
