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): Additional question! |
Question (full): In response to your input and the Scriptures, I have a general understanding of what you mean. But, although I try my best not to sin, I know that I will probably sin again. However, I want to pay greater attention to not sinning against the Holy Spirit, because I know that I can't ever get Him back! My other sins, I know that God will forgive me and deliver me from them. Do you understand my point and concern now? Thank you for your response! God bless you! |
