'Sin' in the Bible

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

After this, Jesus found him in the temple complex and said to him, “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”

When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

“No one, Lord,” she answered.“Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus. “Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.”]

Then He said to them again, “I’m going away; you will look for Me, and you will die in your sin. Where I’m going, you cannot come.”

Jesus responded, “I assure you: Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe Me?

“You were born entirely in sin,” they replied, “and are you trying to teach us?” Then they threw him out.

“If you were blind,” Jesus told them, “you wouldn’t have sin. But now that you say, ‘We see’—your sin remains.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin. Now they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done the works among them that no one else has done, they would not have sin. Now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

When He comes, He will convict the world about sin, righteousness, and judgment:

About sin, because they do not believe in Me;

“You would have no authority over Me at all,” Jesus answered him, “if it hadn’t been given you from above. This is why the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.”
