Everyone hearing the Word of the kingdom, and not understanding, then the evil one comes and catches away that which was sown in his heart: this is that sown by the roadside.
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.
But before all things, my brothers, do not swear, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor any other oath; but let your yes be yes, and the no, no; that you may not fall under judgment.
Fathers, I am writing to you because you have known Him from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I am writing to you, little children, because you have known the Father.

We know that every one having been generated from God does not sin, but the one being generated from God keeps himself, and the evil one does not touch him.
