Elice Fox: We know what the Bible means by what it says. May I suggest that you prayerfully and carefully read the verse in context several times, especially in the Amplified Bible (provided below)? After you have done so, if you still have questions as to the meaning of this verse or to whom it applies, someone here on the Forum will be glad to help you. Grace to you, kalos ------------- Those who have been born from God don't live sinful lives. What God has said lives in them, and they can't live sinful lives. They have been born from God. (1 John 3:9 GOD'S WORD Translation) No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God. 1 John 3:9 (Amplified) ------------- 1 John 3:6-10 (Amplified) 6 No one who abides in Him [who lives and remains in communion with and in obedience to Him—deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him [recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him]. 7 Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous. 8 [But] he who commits sin [who practices evildoing] is of the devil [takes his character from the evil one], for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]. 9 No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God. 10 By this it is made clear who take their nature from God and are His children and who take their nature from the devil and are his children: no one who does not practice righteousness [who does not conform to God’s will in purpose, thought, and action] is of God; neither is anyone who does not love his brother (his fellow believer in Christ). |

1 John 3:8 says if we claim to be without sin we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. Quest Bible states.why can't we be free of sin? some believe we can live a sinless life of perfection(Rom 6:6) others say while perfection is not possible this side of life, a changed life is (2 Cor 5:17). some people speak of the varying effects of sin, concluding that we can be free from the penalty and the oppressive power of sin, but as long as we remain in a fallen world, they say, we will continue to confront the presence of sin. | ||||||

1 John 1:8 (ESV) says: If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 3:8 (ESV) says: Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. |
