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 Note: The original question post was #126296 kalos answered in posts: 126297, 126300, and 126301. Then I responded to him in posts: 126315 and 126317. I don't know what happened with the thread, but my question, asked only once, was also posted as 126298. You responded with post: 126299. I responded with posts: 126318 and 126323. You responded with post: 126324. Again, I don't know why the thread is divided, but this is the series of posts, pretty much in order of occurrence. Theo-Minor P.S. I'm currently going through "The Oxford Grammar of Classical Greek." I will get a copy of the other once I've absorbed this one to the best of my ability. It's slow going, but it has really helped me learn to recognize the words. It's structure more than anything else that was the pain in my rear side (most particularly reconciling myself to "Sequence of tenses and moods" That got confusing at first, but I'm getting a decent grasp, I think.). |
