1 John 3:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Sin is the transgression of the law - The spirit of the law as well as of the Gospel is, that "we should love God with all our powers, and our neighbor as ourselves." All disobedience is contrary to love; therefore sin is the transgression of the law, whether the act refers immediately to God or to our neighbor.
