I don’t think it is a core doctrine, just a typo

Caww is more reasonable - caww is it a core doctrine that “if a born again person sins, it is not the person itself just the person’s body/soul that sins?”

It wasn't me - just my body/soul that done sinned

This leads into what Paul shared about the battle of the two natures within us of course....but with that his significant and very important summation, as is written directly after describing this struggle with sin.

Romans 8: Tells us.....THEREFORE.... there is NOW no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. ..... For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did:.... sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the requirement of the Law ‘might be’ fulfilled in us,..... who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”

So “already now” we who are in Christ have the verdict of the last judgment: Not condemned, but justified - declared righteous before God. The verdict of the last judgment was rendered in AD 33. “Already now” there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

.... And our Salvation is Secure In Him....for as is also written....”These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”.....1 John 5:13.....There is no guess work, or hopefulness in these words but an assurance of our Salvation.

Therefore when we sin it is just that... sin against God..be it done with the body, mind or any other part of the personhood of an individual......we do not cease being sinful creatures this side of heaven.....we still have a choice and a will to walk in Christ or not.
