he that doeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.

οστις πραττει την αμαρτιαν ειναι εκ του διαβολου, διοτι απ' αρχης ο διαβολος αμαρτανει. Δια τουτο εφανερωθη ο Υιος του Θεου, δια να καταστρεψη τα εργα του διαβολου.

He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
