“But
the new creature sinneth not — he ‘does not practice sin’
— as the Emphatic Diaglott translates this passage. He who loves
sin will sin; he who does not love sin will not sin wilfully. He might
be entrapped through his weak flesh, or fall into a snare of the adversary,
but this would be unintentional on his part. And Jesus, our Advocate,
will intercede for such sins, but not for deliberate sin.” R5491:6
“Jesus as our Advocate, imputes to us, or endorses us to the full
extent of our contract with the Father. Our contract is?that, like Jesus,
we will surrender our earthly rights.” R5973:4
“Jesus does not advocate for others than the people of God.”
R5491:3
“But the flesh might have certain desires and temptations, and
there might occur a partially wilful sin. In such a case stripes would
be administered in proportion to the wilfulness.” R5492:1
