Little children, let no man (nothing) deceive you. How can we keep nothing from beguiling us? We shouldn't be in a situation where there are things that deceive and people who deceive.
However, because we are arrogant, we think we know better, or we think we have faith, we end up mixing words with the devil/world.
Let’s be honest – we are not free from lust and greed. And I am first to admit this. If you commit a sin, you belong to the devil. Here, belonging to the devil means that it starts with the devil - the root is the devil. That is, they are children of the devil.
So, as in verse 9, "Whosoever is born of God do not commit sin," we can avoid committing sin when we believe in Christ.
