Considering All Sin, Please Explain 1 John 3:6-9
irst John 3:6 and 9 are two verses where I have a disagreement with how the translators have translated the Bible from Greek to English. Other translations do not create a contradiction in the same text. The English Standard Version has this translation of 1 John 3:6, “No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him.” It also translates 1 John 3:9 as follows: “No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.” This translation is much clearer, and it reflects the original Greek text better.
