'Transgression' in the Bible
In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; But he that harpeth on a matter separateth chief friends.
He loveth transgression that loveth strife: He that raiseth high his gate seeketh destruction.
The discretion of a man maketh him slow to anger; And it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; But by men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof'shall be prolonged.
Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression, The same is the companion of a destroyer.
In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare; But the righteous doth sing and rejoice.
When the wicked are increased, transgression increaseth; But the righteous shall look upon their fall.
An angry man stirreth up strife, And a wrathful man aboundeth in transgression.
