1 John 3:4 - The Message All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God’s order. Surely you know that Christ showed up in order to get rid of sin. There is no sin in him, and sin is not part of his program. No one who lives deeply in Christ makes a practice of sin. None of those who do practice sin have taken a good look at Christ. They’ve got him all backward. More versionsKing James Version (Oxford) 1769 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
