(1 John 3:8) “He 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”
1 John 3:8-10 (ESV)
[sup]8 [/sup]Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. [sup]9 [/sup]No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.
[sup]10 [/sup]By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother.
Douay-Rheims Bible(1 John 3:8) “He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning.”
New American Bible (1John 3:8) “Whoever sins belongs to the devil, because the devil has sinned from the beginning. Indeed, the Son of God was revealed to destroy the works of the devil”
New Jerusalem Bible (1John 3:8) “Whoever lives sinfully belongs to the devil, since the devil has been a sinner from the beginning. This was the purpose of the appearing of the Son of God, to undo the work of the devil.”
King James Bible (1John 3:8) “He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.”
New International Bible (1John 3:8) “The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning.”
Now this is another reason the Bible can’t be one’s teacher. People make it say just what they want it to say.
Ask yourself if a sinner is doing the translating of a bible, and a verse tell him or her they are of Satan if he or she sins, what is to stop the sinner from changing the verse? Remember he or she is a sinner and is of Satan, so they are going to be pushed very hard to do, as Satan wants.
