1 John 3:4 Cross References - Goodspeed

⁴ Whoever commits sin disobeys law; sin is disobedience to law.

²⁰ For no human being can be made upright in the sight of God by observing the Law. All that the Law can do is to make man conscious of sin.

⁷ Then what shall we conclude? That the Law is sin? Certainly not! Yet, if it had not been for the Law, I should never have learned what sin was; I should not have known what it was to covet if the Law had not said, "You must not covet." ⁸ That command gave sin an opening, and it led me to all sorts of covetous ways, for sin is lifeless without law. ⁹ I was once alive and without law, but when the command came, sin awoke and then I died; ¹⁰ and the command that should have meant life in my case proved to mean death. ¹¹ The command gave sin an opening and sin deceived me and killed me with it. ¹² So the Law itself is holy, and each command is holy, just, and good. ¹³ Did what was good, then, prove the death of me? Certainly not! It was sin that did so, so that it might be recognized as sin, because even through something that was good it effected my death, so that through the command it might appear how immeasurably sinful sin was.

Now if you abstain from adultery, but commit murder, you are still a violator of the Law.

⁸ Whoever commits sin is a child of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. This is why the Son of God appeared—to undo the devil's work. ⁹ No one who is a child of God commits sin, for God's nature remains in his heart, and he cannot sin, because he is a child of God.

¹⁷ Any wrongdoing is sin, but there are sins that are not deadly.
