Educate yourself: "In Greek when the present tense occurs it can be understood in a number of ways, one of which is the habitual present. [...] the habitual present refers to events which occur over and over again repeatedly." - http://www.faithalone.org/magazine/y1990/90march2.html
Another excuse for sinning. John and many other places in the bible make it clear that the holy spirit conquers the need to sin. No more dark spirit, no compulsion to sin. I am sorry you feel the need to try and make that not true...I am sure partly because you somehow still love your own sins.
