1 John 5:18 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Yet this gives us no encouragement to sin: on the contrary, it is an indisputable truth, he that is born of God — That sees and loves God. Sinneth not — So long as that loving faith abides in him, he neither speaks nor does anything which God hath forbidden. He keepeth himself — Watching unto prayer. And, while he does this, the wicked one toucheth him not — So as to hurt him.

1 John 5:18

18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
