'Sins' in the Bible

John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation -- to remission of sins,

and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins.

and Jesus having seen their faith, saith to the paralytic, 'Child, thy sins have been forgiven thee.'

Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one -- God?'

which is easier, to say to the paralytic, The sins have been forgiven to thee? or to say, Rise, and take up thy couch, and walk?

And, that ye may know that the Son of Man hath authority on the earth to forgive sins -- (he saith to the paralytic) --

'Verily I say to you, that all the sins shall be forgiven to the sons of men, and evil speakings with which they might speak evil,

that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.'
