'Sinners' in the Bible

Their scribes and the Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"

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

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

Jesus answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things?

Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him.

The Pharisees and the scribes murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with them."
