The F.O.G Verse by Verse commentary is a work in progress. The vision is to bring the ancient Jewish context and supernatural worldview back to every verse in the Bible. Any available commentary will be below. As a member you can comment to request this verse be prioritized next.

Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin, because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.
World English Bible (WEB)
Whosoever{G3956} is born{G1080}{(G5772)} of{G1537} God{G2316} doth{G4160}{(G5719)} not{G3756} commit sin{G266}; for{G3754} his{G846} seed{G4690} remaineth{G3306}{(G5719)} in{G1722} him{G846}: and{G2532} he cannot{G3756}{G1410}{(G5736)} sin{G264}{(G5721)}, because{G3754} he is born{G1080}{(G5769)} of{G1537} God{G2316}.
KJV with Strongs
No one who is begotten of the Elohim practises deviation, because His seed remains in him. They cannot keep deviating because they are begotten of the Elohim.
The F.O.G
[9] Anyone born of God doesn't make a practice of sinning, because God's seed - His spiritual DNA - lives in them. They can't keep on sinning as a lifestyle because they've been born into God's family and have His nature within. No one who belongs to Yahweh indulges in sin, because His seed, His nature, is within them. They cannot continue sinning because they have been born again of their Father, Yahweh.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
every one who hath been begotten of God, sin he doth not, because his seed in him doth remain, and he is not able to sin, because of God he hath been begotten.
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
