1 John 3:4-5 Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.… I. SIN IS A MISSING THE MARK. It is a failing to arrive at that high purpose which God has prepared for us; and as in the natural world the failure to fulfil the law imposed upon us would lead to the most fearful results, so the terrible results of our aberration are visible in the sorrows and sufferings of our kind. II. SIN IS A DELIBERATE SETTING OURSELVES AGAINST GOD. This is clear if we ask what mark it is we miss. The law imposed upon us by God. Now every sin, of whatever kind, partakes of this character. III. THEREFORE THE LEAST SIN IS MORTAL IN ITS CHARACTER. (J. J. Lias, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.WEB: Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness. |
