Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness [ignoring God’s law by action or neglect or by tolerating wrongdoing—being unrestrained by His commands and His will].

Therefore you shall pay attention and be careful to do just as the Lord your God has commanded you; you shall not turn aside to the right or to the left [deviating from My commandments].

“Everything I command you, you shall be careful to do it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.

And

If anyone sees his brother committing a sin that does not lead to death, he will pray and ask [on the believer’s behalf] and God will for him give life to those whose sin is not leading to death. There is a sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for this [kind of sin].

“Come now, and let us reason together,”

“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be like wool.

Then when the illicit desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin has run its course, it gives birth to death.

So submit to [the authority of] God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him] and he will flee from you.
