HE CANNOT SIN, BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD.

1 John 3:1-9 

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Below are two Scriptures, both of 1 John 3:9, but both are of two different translations of The Bible.

The King James Bible and The Amplified Bible Classic are the two examples I will use today.

When we read the two translations side by side The King James Bible reads, When You Are Born Of God You Cannot Sin, but the amplified classic version says for us to do works and keep The Law. We know Jesus Christ Fulfilled The Law Of God for us, and Christians Are To Live By Faith. 

Be cautious of which version of the Bible you read. 

Be Spiritually minded, and alert to the preachers or teachers you listen to; they may mean well, but they can still be in error because of the version of the Bible they use. 

Read The Bible For Yourself, and Let The Holy Spirit Teach You And Guide You Into All Truth. 

Galatians 2:16 KJV

Knowing That A Man Is Not Justified By The Works Of The Law, But By The Faith Of Jesus Christ, Even We Have Believed In Jesus Christ, That We Might Be Justified By The Faith Of Christ, And Not By The Works Of The Law: For By The Works Of The Law Shall No Flesh Be Justified.

Galatians 2:21 KJV

I Do Not Frustrate The Grace Of God: For If Righteousness Come By The Law, Then Christ Is Dead In Vain.

1 John 3:9 KJV

Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 John 3:9 AMPC

No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God's nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.
