Is a Chrisitan still a sinner? 基督徒仍是罪人嗎?

T.A. 

Let me say it this way. A Christian will sin from time to time. John says that if we say we have no sin then we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us (1John 1:8).

讓我這樣說吧。 基督徒會時不時犯罪。 約翰說,我們若說自己無罪,便是自欺,真理不在我們心裡了(約翰一書1:8)。

Now, also we need to understand 1 John 3:6. This " sinneth not" means a practice of sin; in other words living a sinful life . The King James version puts an "eth" at the end of verbs to show continuing action of the Greek verb. So it means a continual sinning. 

1 Jn 3:6 (KJV)  Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

現在,我們也需要理解約翰一書3:6,其中這種“犯罪”意味著犯罪的實行;換句話說,“過著罪惡的生活”。 英王钦定本在動詞的末尾放了一個“eth”,以顯示希臘語動詞的持續動作。 因此,這意味著持續的犯罪

1Jn 3:6  凡住在他裡面的,就不犯罪;凡犯罪的,是未曾看見他,也未曾認識他。

So, a Christian will sin and when he sins he is a sinner. But he/she is God's child and as he/she walks in the light, Jesus' blood cleanses (1John 1: 7). So a Christian sins but he is not a sinner in the sense of one who lives in sin or like a non-Christian who is still completely in sin. Hope that helps and is not confusing.

因此,一個基督徒會犯罪,當他犯罪時,他就是一個罪人。 但他/她是神的孩子,當他/她在光明中行的時候,耶穌的血也洗淨我們一切的罪(約翰一書1:7)。 因此,基督徒會犯罪,但他不是一個生活在罪中的罪人,或者像一個仍然完全在罪中的非基督徒。 希望這有幫助,不會令人困惑。


JY:In order to walk in the light, we have to keep repenting our sins. How important repentance is!

為了在光明中行走,我們必須不斷悔改我們的罪過。 悔改是多麼重要啊!
