QUESTION: Can someone who is born again still sin?

ANSWER: Yes! In writing to Christians, the apostle John wrote, “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” (I John 1:8). There are those who have interpreted I John 3:9 to contradict what was said in the first chapter. This passage in the King James Version says, “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.” This passage with consideration to the original language reads, “Whosoever is born of God doth not (keep on) commit(ting) sin, for his seed (God’s Word - Luke 8:11) remaineth in him: and he cannot (continue to live in) sin, because he is born of God.” Thus, we see the harmony and agreement between the first and third chapters of Ist John!
