You are of the devil as father, and the lusts of your father you desire to do. That one was a murderer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
said, O son of the devil, full of all deceit and of all villainy, hostile to all righteousness, will you not stop perverting the right ways of the Lord?
that through two unchangeable things, in which it was not possible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, the ones having fled to lay hold on the hope being set before us,
The one practicing sin is of the devil, because the devil sins from the beginning. For this the Son of God was made known, that He might undo the works of the devil.
