Thematic Bible: Who is a sinner


Thematic Bible



The one who practices sin [separating himself from God, and offending Him by acts of disobedience, indifference, or rebellion] is of the devil [and takes his inner character and moral values from him, not God]; for the devil has sinned and violated God’s law from the beginning.

But if you show partiality [prejudice, favoritism], you are committing sin and are convicted by the Law as offenders.
