'In Sin' in the Bible

So they sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know that you are honest, and that you are teaching the way of God in sincerity; and are not afraid of any one, for you do not court men's favor.

They answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they cast him out.

What then shall we say? Shall we continue to abound in sin, in order that grace may come to abound?

Let the teacher give himself to his teaching; and he who exhorts others to his exhortation. He who gives, let him do it in singleness of mind. He who rules, let him rule with diligence; and he who shows mercy must be cheerful.

Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with reverence and humility, in singleness of heart as if to Christ himself;

Slaves, obey in all things your earthly masters, not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of purpose, out of reverence for your Lord.

Whoever continually abides in him does not habitually sin; whoever lives in sin has not seen him, nor come to know him.
