Title: One Abiding in Him Does Not Sin; One Sinning Has Neither Seen Him Nor Known Him
The text is, “πᾶς ὁ ἐν αὐτῷ μένων οὐχ ἁμαρτάνει· πᾶς ὁ ἁμαρτάνων οὐχ ἑώρακεν αὐτὸν οὐδὲ ἔγνωκεν αὐτόν”.
πᾶς -> masculine, singular, nominative adjective -> one
ὁ -> masculine, singular, nominative article -> the NRIEH**
ἐν -> preposition taking the dative for its object word -> in
αὐτῷ -> third person, personal masculine, singular, dative pronoun -> him
μένων -> present, active, participial, masculine, singular, nominative verb -> abiding
οὐχ -> negative particle -> not
ἁμαρτάνει -> third person, singular, present, active, indicative verb -> does sin
πᾶς -> masculine, singular, nominative adjective -> one
ὁ -> masculine, singular, nominative article -> the NRIEH
ἁμαρτάνων -> present, active, participial, masculine, singular, nominative verb -> sinning
οὐχ -> negative particle -> neither
ἑώρακεν -> third person, singular, perfect, active, indicative verb -> has seen
αὐτὸν -> third person, personal, masculine, singular, accusative pronoun -> him
οὐδὲ -> negative particle -> nor
ἔγνωκεν -> third person, singular, perfect, active, indicative verb -> known
αὐτόν -> third person, singular, masculine, singular, accusative pronoun -> Him
The meaning of this verse is,
One abiding in him does not sin; one sinning has neither seen him nor known him.”
**NRIEH: For the sake of clarity the word is translated into English, but to avoid such odd constructions as applying a definite article (“the”) to a substantive sufficiently determined by its being a proper noun, or by the use of a qualifier other than the definite article. An example would be the basic translation “Peter said to the Jesus”; the word “the” is completely unnecessary. There are many examples of this in the New Testament. The designation NRIEH is equivalent to “Not Rendered Into English Here”.
