Whatsover is Born of God Does Not Sin
This means the person who has been born again has a spirit made alive by the Holy Spirit in the image of Jesus Christ and that spirit does not sin.
The motions of sin are in the unregenerate mind but the spirit-man is complete in Christ Jesus and is one spirit with Him and does not sin.
Because of this, we are to crucify the old fleshly sinful nature of the natural mind within us and live in the flesh conformed to the life of the spirit within.
It does NOT mean that a Christian never sins - indeed, the Christian is more aware of sin in his life than ever before, but it means the new man created in Christ (his spirit) is sin-free and righteous in Christ.
The carnal nature is gone forever when we are resurrected in the new body, and thus sin shall never exist on the streets of the New Jerusalem.
