I John 3:8-10
I John 3:8-10: when speaking of "committeth sin", and "doth not commit sin", and "doeth not righteousness" (KJV)- it is dealing with the fact of imputation. Either a sinner has Christ's righteousness imputed to them and they are not charged with their sin, or a sinner has their sins charged to them. So all sinners either have Christ's righteousness imputed to them or their sins imputed to them. Hence I John 3:8 can be interpreted: "He that is charged with their sin is of the devil"; and I John 3:9- "Whosoever is born of God is not charged with their sin". In verse 10 "doeth not righteousness" is a person who does not have Christ's righteousness imputed to them............KK
