요한1서 3:6, 9의 죄 문제 재연구 = Revisiting the Problem of a Christian’s Sin in 1 John 3:6, 9

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

No consensus has been reached about the meaning of 1 John 3:6, 9 since an article dealing with grammatical matters of these verses was published in 2006. In that article, the author tried to resolve the problem by investigating the meaning of the Greek present tense with the indicative and the participle which occurs in the verses. Nevertheless, many scholars have raised their voices against the argument based on the traditional view of the Greek tense. According to the traditional view, the Greek present tense denotes the iterant or habitual action both in the indicative mood and other moods. Therefore, the present tense with the indicative and the participle for ‘sin’ in 3:6, 9 indicates the habitual action. The basic meaning of the present verb means ‘does not habitually sin/does not sin habitually’.
However, many scholars recently follow the aspect theory, which differs from the traditional view. Especially, the advocates of a rather radical aspect theory postulate that the Greek present tense cannot signify any kind of habitual action. Even some scholars who accept both the aspect theory and the traditional theory maintain that the Greek present tense in 1 John 3:6, 9 does not refer to habitual action. They posit that no grammatical factor can support such interpretation.
The issue centers on whether the radical aspect theory is convincing and whether any grammatical or textual elements lend support to the traditional view. Probably the expression, ‘sins from the beginning’ in 1 John 3:8 provides the evidence for the interpretation of the present tense as indicating habitual action in 1 John 3:6, 9. The context of the sentence in 3:6 also reinforces such an explanation. In addition, a proper understanding of the relationship between semantics and pragmatics also helps to resolve the problem of these verses.
