Sin

18If I cherished sin in my heart, the Lord wouldn’t have listened.

16There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him:

17haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood;

18a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief,

19a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers.

13He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

20“So is the way of an adulterous woman: she eats and wipes her mouth, and says, ‘I have done nothing wrong.’

9If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire.

25“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.

26You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.

27“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.

28Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

10Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

2His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

3Jesus answered, “Neither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.

31We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God, and does his will, he listens to him.

40Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

41Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

7Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

17To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.

19Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

20let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

2And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.

4Everyone who sins also commits lawlessness. Sin is lawlessness.

7Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

8He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. To this end the Son of God was revealed: that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9Whoever is born of God doesn’t commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can’t sin, because he is born of God.

10In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the devil. Whoever doesn’t do righteousness is not of God, neither is he who doesn’t love his brother.

11For this is the message which you heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

12unlike Cain, who was of the evil one, and killed his brother. Why did he kill him? Because his deeds were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
