Does 1 John 3:9 teach that believers do not sin?
The answer might seem obvious, but by the way many translation render this verse, such as the NIV...
"No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God."

Even many preachers misunderstand the way the present tense of this verse is used in Greek and end up poorly exegeting the text!
So in this video I walk through 3 clues in the text to help us understand Johns argument.
