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. |
Bible Question (short): Are you defeated? |
Question (full): Rebxar: You almost had it right until the last part where you said, "...and as such we will sin." How did Jesus do it? 2 Timothy 3:1-5 is fulfilled before our eyes. Let's not deny the power any longer. We do not have to remain defeated. Jesus Christ has overcome the world, and through him, we can too! Read Revelation 2:17, 26 and 3:5 |
