'In Sin' in the Bible

"You," they replied, "were wholly begotten and born in sin, and do *you* teach *us*?" And they put him out of the synagogue.

To what conclusion, then, shall we come? Are we to persist in sinning in order that the grace extended to us may be the greater?

Those who persist in sin reprove in the presence of all, so that it may also be a warning to the rest.

In whole burnt-offerings and in sin-offerings Thou hast taken no pleasure.

For if we wilfully persist in sin after having received the full knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains in reserve any other sacrifice for sins.

No one who continues in union with Him lives in sin: no one who lives in sin has seen Him or knows Him.

We know that no one who is a child of God lives in sin, but He who is God's Child keeps him, and the Evil one cannot touch him.
