[for me anyway] we may understand v34. by understanding the word "committeth" which putting trust into the hands and power of; which is exactly why Christ refers to them that puts their trust into the hands of sin are the servants of sin: contrariwise they that are born of God do not put their trust into the hands and power of sin (1 John 3:9).
A servant of sin abides not in the house forever.

It's about whom you obey, to whom you obey you become a servant to and are marked by the spirit of your master, by sin, or by righteousness...
Romans 6:16
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
Sin reigning in ones life(sin having dominion over) and one receiving the red mark of the beast (sin nature) was shown in Cain....
Genesis 4:7
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
So when Cain did not do good sin became his desire (same as the Devils desire) by the spirit of the Devil working in him, and thus he became a servant of sin with sin reigning over him unto death. Also because of Cain sinning he was cast out of the presence of God (as sin separates us from God) and Cain was marked with the mark of the beast (serpents desire and sinful nature).
