1 John 3:4

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.
World English Bible (WEB)
Whosoever{G3956} committeth{G4160}{(G5723)} sin{G266} transgresseth{G4160}{(G5719)}{G458} also{G2532} the law{G458}: for{G2532} sin{G266} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the transgression of the law{G458}.
Strong's King James
Everyone committing deviation also commits injustice (a violation of Torah); deviation itself is an injustice.
The F.O.G*
[4] Anyone who practices sin is actually practicing lawlessness - it's not just breaking rules, it's rebelling against the very character of God. Sin is cosmic treason against the King of the universe.Everyone who indulges in sin is violating God’s perfect way, for sin itself is an injustice—a breach of His perfect standards.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,
Young's Literal Translation
