'Sin' in the Bible

He brightly reflects God's glory and is the exact representation of His being, and upholds the universe by His all-powerful word. After securing man's purification from sin He took His seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

but with whom was He grieved forty years? was it not with those who did sin, whose carcasses fell in the wilderness?

For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Because of this, he must make a sin offering for himself as well as for the people.

It was fitting for us to have such a High Priest [perfectly adapted to our needs], holy, blameless, unstained [by sin], separated from sinners and exalted higher than the heavens;

And this is a figure--for the time now present--answering to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered, unable though they are to give complete freedom from sin to him who ministers.

How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

In fact under the Law almost everything is cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness [neither release from sin and its guilt, nor cancellation of the merited punishment].

For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

For, since the Law exhibits only an outline of the blessings to come and not a perfect representation of the things themselves, the priests can never, by repeating the same sacrifices which they continually offer year after year, give complete freedom from sin to those who draw near.

For otherwise would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers would have been purified once for all and so have no further consciousness of sin?

In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will.” [And so] He does away with the first [covenant as a means of atoning for sin based on animal sacrifices] so that He may inaugurate and establish the second [covenant by means of obedience].

It is through that divine will that we have been set free from sin, through the offering of Jesus Christ as our sacrifice once for all.

And He, for sin one sacrifice having offered -- to the end, did sit down on the right hand of God, --

For by a single offering He has for ever completed the blessing for those whom He is setting free from sin.

Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:

For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

How much severer punishment, think you, will he be held to deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, has not regarded as holy that Covenant-blood with which he was set free from sin, and has insulted the Spirit from whom comes grace?

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.

And for this reason Jesus also, in order, by His own blood, to set the people free from sin, suffered outside the gate.

Make prayers for us, for we are certain that our hearts are free from the sense of sin, desiring the right way of life in all things.
