So if you sin, you show yourself not to be connected with Christ, but a child of the devil and part of his synagogue of Babylon! But if, through the strength and grace of Christ (Philippians 4:13, 2:12-13; Mark 9:23, 10:27) you resist sin and do not yield to it (James 4:7-8; Romans 6:11-22), you show yourself to be in union with, and hid in Christ, and thus a child of God and part of His true church! Thus it is by your words and actions, or by your fruits, that you are known to be of God or of Satan!
Kaya kung ikaw ay magkasala, iyong ipinapakita na hindi ka nakaugnay kay Cristo, kundi isang anak ng diablo at bahagi ng kaniyang sinagoga na Babilonia! Ngunit kung, sa pamamagitan ng kalakasan at biyaya ni Cristo (Filipos 4:13, 2:12-13; Marcos 9:23, 10:27) iyong sinalangsang o nilabanan ang kasalanan at hindi ka nagpasailalim dito (Santiago 4:7-8; Roma 6:11-22), iyong ipinapakita na ikaw ay kaisa at nakakubli kay Cristo, at dahil doon ay naging anak ka ng Dios at bahagi ng Kaniyang totoong iglesya!
