MSG (4-6)All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God’s order. Surely you know that Christ showed up in order to get rid of sin. There is no sin in him, and sin is not part of his program. No one who lives deeply in Christ makes a practice of sin. None of those who do practice sin have taken a good look at Christ. They’ve got him all backward.

3:6 πας ¦ και πας PCK
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, orange:accents differ (from our SR-GNT base).
3:6 continues to live in him (Greek menō): This indicates “abiding” and “remaining” (John 15:1-8) in contrast to departing into falsehood. To the extent that we live in continual, dependent fellowship with Christ and in faithfulness to the apostles’ teachings, we will not sin.
• keeps on sinning: This verb denotes sin as an ongoing, repeated action. John was not saying that anyone who sins once does not know God (i.e., has no relationship with God). But if we persist in sin, we demonstrate a lack of relationship with God.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πᾶς ὁ ἐν αὐτῷ μένων
everyone ¬which in him remaining
See the discussion of the term “remain” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. In this instance, it seems to mean the same thing as in 2:6. See how you translated it there. Alternate translation: “Everyone who has a close relationship with Jesus”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πᾶς ὁ ἐν αὐτῷ μένων
everyone ¬which in him remaining
John is speaking as if believers could be inside of Jesus. Alternate translation: “Everyone who has a close relationship with Jesus”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
αὐτῷ & αὐτὸν & αὐτόν
him & him & him
The pronoun him refers to Jesus in this verse. Consider whether it might be helpful to your readers or more natural in your language to use the name “Jesus” in one or more of these instances.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οὐχ ἁμαρτάνει
not /is/_sinning
If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state what this implicitly means in light of the situation that John is addressing in this letter. See the discussion of “sin” in Part 3 of the Introduction to 1 John. John acknowledges elsewhere in this letter that genuine believers actually do sin, but they do not sin continually or wantonly. Alternate translation: “does not sin wantonly or continually”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
οὐχ ἑώρακεν αὐτὸν, οὐδὲ ἔγνωκεν αὐτόν
not neither /has/_seen him nor /has/_known him
The words seen and known mean similar things. John is likely using repetition for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could combine these terms into a single expression. Alternate translation: “certainly does not have a close relationship with Jesus”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐχ ἑώρακεν αὐτὸν
not neither /has/_seen him
John is not referring to people literally seeing Jesus. Rather, he is using sight to mean perception and recognition. Alternate translation: “has not recognized who Jesus is”
