The sin enablers never tire. No, according to the Bible! (Even this ESV translation): “Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has
ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.” (1 Peter 4:1-2) This is the problem with the new translations. They end up contradicting themselves by adding “practices sin” in other places! The KJV is consistent across the board; does NOT sin! “Confess your
faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.” (James 5:16) Yes, if any haven’t been born again yet among you. Because once you are healed you are born again and will not commit offenses anymore. Otherwise the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man avails very little. Yes, if that man has not been cleansed by the blood of Christ:
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from ALL sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:7-9)
Here’s the English Standard Version (ESV) again: “Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has
ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God.” (1 Peter 4:1-2)
