LIVES IN HIM – SEEN HIM OR KNOWN HIM / 1 JOHN 3:6

(KJV) 1 John 3:6

Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

The words “lives in him” and “born of God” (1 John 3:9) are equivalent expressions. Only those who continue to live in a right relationship with God continue to be born of God (His children John 15:4; Romans 8:1).

The verbs “seen” and “known” are in the perfect tense (the Greek perfect tense refers to action that occurred in the past with results continuing to the present moment). John is saying that no one who is living in sin – deliberately defying God and His standards – has seen (and continues to see) God, nor has he known (and continues to know) Him. This can apply either to those who have never had real faith in Christ or to those who knew God in the past but have not continued knowing Him in the present.
