People's Commentary (NT)
1 John 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin. The thought is that
he does not live a life of sin. The spirit born of God, the new creation,
does not sin, and cannot sin and remain God's child, but sometimes the
old nature revives and for a moment exerts its power. See Romans 7:20.
See PNT "1Jo 5:21".
For his seed remaineth in him. The principle of divine life, and
hence he cannot live a sinful life.
And he cannot sin, because he is born of God. "That which is born
of the Spirit is spirit" (John 3:6). This new nature cannot sin. If
we sin, it is the old nature revived. Unless at once we repent and flee
to him he will depart from us.
