NASB | 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, because God's seed [His principle of life, the essence of His righteous character] remains [permanently] in him [who is born again--who is reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose]; and he [who is born again] cannot habitually [live a life characterized by] sin, because he is born of God and longs to please Him. |
Subject: One born of God cannot sin? |
Bible Note: Greetings M J Head, That was and interesting post and welcome to the forum. Are you saying, in essence, that the PSUCHIKOS, or soulish man is not a part of the real you and thus not a factor in a three part being after regeneration or that it is only the body that sins and the soul isn’t at fault? Ezekiel 18:20 (A) The soul that sinneth, it shall die. 1 Cor. 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 1 Thes. 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. If I hit myself on the thumb with a hammer is it not “I” that suffers, be that as it may? Have a great day, CDBJ |
