And when they persisted in asking him, straightening up he said to them, "The [one] of you without sin, let him throw the first stone at her!"

And she said, "No one, Lord." So Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."]]

So he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!"

Jesus replied to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, {why} do you not believe me?

They answered and said to him, "You were born completely in sin, and are you attempting to teach us?" And they threw him out.

And [when he] comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:

concerning sin, because they do not believe in me,

Jesus replied to him, "You would not have any authority over me unless it was given to you from above. For this [reason] the one who handed me over to you has greater sin."

And falling to [his] knees, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them!" And [after he] said this, he fell asleep.

What then? Do we have an advantage? Not at all. For we have already charged both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,

For by the works of the law {no person will be declared righteous} before him, for through the law [comes] knowledge of sin.

Blessed [is] the person against whom the Lord will never count sin."

Because of this, just as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death spread to all people because all sinned.

For until the law, sin was in the world, but sin is not charged to one's account [when there] is no law.

But death reigned from Adam until Moses even over those who did not sin in the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of the one who is to come.

And the gift [is] not as through the one who sinned, for on the one hand, judgment from the one [sin] [led] to condemnation, but the gift, from many trespasses, [led] to justification.

Now the law came in as a side issue, in order that the trespass could increase, but where sin increased, grace was present in greater abundance,

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What therefore shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, in order that grace may increase?

May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it?

knowing this, that our old man was crucified together with [him], in order that the body of sin may be done away with, [that] we may no longer be enslaved to sin.

For the one who has died has been freed from sin.

For that [death] he died, he died to sin once and never again, but that [life] he lives, he lives to God.

So also you, consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that [you] obey its desires,

and do not present your members to sin [as] instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your members to God [as] instruments of righteousness.

For sin will not be master over you, because you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be!

Do you not know that to whomever you present yourselves [as] slaves for obedience, you are slaves to whomever you obey, whether sin, [leading] to death, or obedience, [leading] to righteousness?

But thanks [be] to God that you were slaves of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart the pattern of teaching to which you were entrusted,

and having been set free from sin, you became enslaved to righteousness.

For when you were slaves of sin, you were free with respect to righteousness.

But now, having been set free from sin and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit [leading] to sanctification, and its end [is] eternal life.

For the compensation due sin [is] death, but the gift of God [is] eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What then shall we say? [Is] the law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the law, for I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, "Do not covet."

But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all [kinds of] covetousness. For apart from the law, sin [is] dead.

And I was alive once, apart from the law, but [when] the commandment came, sin sprang to life

For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed [me].

Therefore, [did that which is] good become death to me? May it never be! Rather [it was] sin, in order that it might be recognized [as] sin, producing death through [what is] good for me, in order that sin might become sinful to an extraordinary degree through the commandment.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, {sold into slavery to sin}.

But now I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that lives in me.

But if what I do not want [to do], this I am doing, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin that lives in me.

but I observe another law in my members, at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that exists in my members.

Thanks [be] to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself with my mind am enslaved to the law of God, but with my flesh [I am enslaved] to the law of sin.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

For what [was] impossible for the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God [did]. [By] sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

But if Christ [is] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin, but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.

But the one who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not [do so] from faith, and everything that [is] not from faith is sin.

But if anyone thinks he is behaving dishonorably concerning his virgin, if she is past her prime and it ought to be thus, let him do what he wishes. He does not sin. Let them marry.

Now [if you] sin in this way against the brothers and wound their conscience, which is weak, you sin against Christ.

Therefore, if food causes my brother to sin, I will never eat meat {forever}, in order that I may not cause my brother to sin.

Now the sting of death [is] sin, and the power of sin [is] the law.

He made the one who did not know sin [to be] sin on our behalf, in order that we could become the righteousness of God in him.

Or did I commit a sin [by] humbling myself in order that you may be exalted, because I proclaimed the gospel of God to you without payment?

Who is weak, and [I am] not weak? Who is caused to sin, and I do not burn [with indignation]?

But if [while] seeking to be justified by Christ, [we] ourselves also have been found [to be] sinners, then [is] Christ an agent of sin? May it never be!

But the scripture imprisoned all under sin, in order that the promise could be given by faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.

Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger,

Reprove those who sin in the presence of all, in order that the rest also may experience fear.

But encourage one another {day by day}, as long as it is called "today," so that {none of you become hardened} by the deception of sin.

For we do not have a high priest who is not able to sympathize with our weaknesses, but who has been tempted in all [things] in the same way, without sin.

since it would have been necessary for him to suffer many times from the foundation of the world, but now he has appeared once at the end of the ages for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

thus also Christ, having been offered once in order to bear the sins of many, will appear for the second time without reference to sin to those who eagerly await him for salvation.

[When he] says above, "Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [offerings] for sin you did not want, nor did you delight in," which are offered according to the law,

Now where [there is] forgiveness of these, [there is] no longer an offering for sin.

choosing instead to be mistreated with the people of God [rather] than to experience the transitory enjoyment of sin,

Therefore, [since] we also have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us, putting aside every weight and {the sin that so easily ensnares us}, let us run with patient endurance the race that has been set before us,

You have not yet resisted to the point of [shedding your] blood [as you] struggle against sin.

Then desire, [after it] has conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, [when it] is brought to completion, gives birth to death.

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, [and thus] are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Therefore, to the one who knows to do good and does not do [it], to him it is sin.
