1 John 3:9

Whosoever is borne of god sinneth not: for his seed remayneth in him and he cannot sinne because he is borne of god.

Tyndale New Testament

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

8He that committeth synne is of the devill: for the devyll synneth sence the begynnynge. For this purpose appered the sonne of god to lowse the workes of the devill.

10In this are the children of god knowen and the children of the devyll. Whosoever doeth not rightewesnes is not of God nether he that loveth not his brother.
