No I can read the Greek Kenneth and there is no possible way the passage could be translated as you posted it.
1Jo 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

Transgressing the law means breaking it......
If the law says do not steal.......then you have transgressed the law if you steal
If the law says do not lie..........then you have transgressed the law if you lie
And so on and so on.
The scriptures say if you are in Christ you will not sin, because you will be walking in the Spirit and love. And love will not steal, kill, lie, covet, adultery, idolatry, and so on. Walking in love upholds the standards of the moral law, and walking in the flesh transgresses the law by breaking it for giving into your lusts. So when you sin you have been drawn away from Christ by your own lusts as James clearly says.
If you say what you say that you are in Christ, so you never sin at all ever again.
Have you not sinned today, yesterday, the past month, or the past year? If you say yes to this then the bible says you are a liar, which is a sin.....
