1 John 3:6

Sin and the Child of God

4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and ^asin is lawlessness.

5 And you know ^athat He was manifested ^bto take away our sins, and ^cin Him there is no sin.

6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

7 Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

8 ^aHe who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, ^bthat He might destroy the works of the devil.

John Wesley's Notes

<< 1 John 3:5

1 John 3:7 >>

Whosoever abideth in communion with him, by loving faith, sinneth not - While he so abideth. Whosoever sinneth certainly seeth him not - The loving eye of his soul is not then fixed upon God; neither doth he then experimentally know him - Whatever he did in time past.
