Literal Greek

1 John 3:10 ():

“Everyone who has been born out of God with the present result that he is a born-one of God does not habitually commit sin because His seed remains in him. And he is not able habitually to sin, because out of God he has been born with the present result that he is a born-one of God.

“In this is apparent who are the born-ones of God and the born-ones of the devil. Everyone who is not habitually doing righteousness is not of God, also the one who is not habitually loving his brother [Christian] with a divine and self-sacrificial love.

I did not try to interpret 1 John 1:9 but I am satisfied with the KJV. Your appeal to thee Greek is of interest but I don’t speak Greek. I’ll try to interpret along the same line of MHGinTN

There are two creations. First is natural then spiritual according to the rule of 1 Corinthians 15:46. The natural man is created in Adam and cannot stop sinning. The spiritual man is created in Christ unto good works(Ephesians 2:10) and anything created in Christ cannot sin.
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
