Objection. 2. Pet. 1.10. Give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. 1. John. 3. Whosoever is borne of GOD, sinneth not. Answer. These sentences in times past the Pelagians also and Catharists, and now the Anabaptists abuse, to establish perfection of new obedience in the regenerate: but to fall and to commit or do sin, signifieth in those places of Peter and John, to have Reigning-sin, and to yield unto it, and persevere in it: and in this sort the regenerate sin not. But that there remain notwithstanding remnants of sins and defects in them, is expressly showed, 1. Joh. 1.8. If we say we have no sin, the truth is not in us.
