Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him, neither known Him. |
Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. |
No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or known Him. |
|
No one who lives in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen Him or known Him. |
No one who abides in Him [who lives and remains in communion with and in obedience to Him – deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him [recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him]. |
Everyone who in Him is constantly abiding is not habitually sinning. Everyone who is constantly sinning has not with discernment seen Him, nor has he known Him, with the result that that condition is true of him at present. |
|
The man who lives “in Christ” does not habitually sin. The regular sinner has never seen or known Him. |
No one who continues to live in union with Him practices sin. No one who practices sin has ever seen Him or come to know Him. |
Whosoever 3956 abideth 3306 in 1722 Him 846 sinneth 264 not: 3756 whosoever 3956 sinneth 264 hath not 3756 seen 3708 Him, 846 neither 3761 known 1097 Him. 846 |
