17. All unrighteousness is sin, but there is a sin not unto death.
18. We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he that is begotten of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.
19. And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in wickedness.
20. But we know that the Son of God is come and has given us understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.
21. Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
