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: Hi M.J. Head, Sorry about the confusion! The other post was 141095 - my poor eyes vs. those tiny little numbers - well, my eyes didn't win that battle! I wasn't taught this by man either. I was studing in 1 John, and came to these particular verses and asked "It this true?", and began to study. It was right after I came to these conclusions that my pastor taught the same thing from Romans 8. It was very refreshing to me to see you explaining the same things in the very same way. I look forward to your hearing more from you. Love in Christ, Mark |
