SINNETH NOT and CANNOT SIN versus the ESV Perversion
The ESV in keeping with the modern perversion’s correction of the KJB in regard to its “ETH” suffixes to practicing or continuing sinning gives us more false teaching in the matter.
1 John 3:9No 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. – ESV
1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit (G4160) sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. – KJB
1John 3:5, 6 You know that he appeared to take away sins, and in him there is no sin. No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. – ESV
1John 3:5, 6 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth (G264) not (3756): whosoever sinneth (G264) hath not seen him, neither known him. –KJB
After saying that IN HIM [Christ] there is no sin, the ESV perversion changes the KJB’s “sinneth not” to “keeps on sinning” in two places just as they inserted “keeps on sinning” in 1 John 3:9. Unfortunately, the arguments used for 1 John 3:9 are for an entirely different Greek word for sin than here. It is the same word used in 1 John 5:18:
1 John 5:18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. – ESV
1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth (264) not (3756); but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. –KJB
G264 ἁμαρτάνω ham-ar-tan'-o Perhaps from G1 (as a negative particle) and the base of G3313; properly to miss the mark (and so notshare in the prize), that is, (figuratively) to err, especially (morally) to sin: - for your faults, offend, sin, trespass.
That which is born of God(not born of man or woman) and which is IN CHRIST does not sin and cannot sin, namely the new man, the new creature, the new nature, and the divine nature. The flesh is not IN CHRIST and never shall be. One day the new body will be. This is further proof that the ESV and other like minded versions are perversions and not even Bibles but rather interpretive paraphrases of the Greek in these passages.
