John 8:34

Whosoever committeth [π α ς ο π ο ι ω ν]. Rev., more correctly, every one that committeth.

Sin [τ η ν α μ α ρ τ ι α ν]. The definite article, the sin, shows that Jesus does not mean merely a simple act, but a life of sin. Compare 1 John 3:4-8, and doeth the truth (John 3:21); doeth the righteousness (1 John 2:29). The servant [δ ο υ λ ο ς]. Or, a servant. Properly, a bond - servant or slave. See on Matthew 20:26.

Of sin. A few authorities omit, and read whosoever committeth sin is a bond - servant. Compare Romans 6:17; Romans 6:20.
