'Sinners' in the Bible

The Pharisees and their scribes started complaining to Jesus' disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

I have not come to call righteous people, but sinners, to repentance."

"If you love those who love you, what thanks do you deserve? Why, even sinners love those who love them.

If you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks do you deserve? Even sinners do that.

If you lend to those from whom you expect to get something back, what thanks do you deserve? Even sinners lend to sinners to get back what they lend.

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look! He's a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

Now all the tax collectors and sinners kept coming to listen to Jesus.

But the Pharisees and the scribes kept complaining, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."
