'Sin' in the Bible

Saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin; for the kingdom of heaven is near.

From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

So I say to you, Every sin and every evil word against God will have forgiveness; but for evil words against the Spirit there will be no forgiveness.

John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news.

And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

Give attention to yourselves: if your brother does wrong, say a sharp word to him; and if he has sorrow for his sin, let him have forgiveness.

The day after, John sees Jesus coming to him and says, See, here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

After a time Jesus came across him in the Temple and said to him, See, you are well and strong; do no more sin for fear a worse thing comes to you.

But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her.

And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

And his disciples put a question to him, saying, Master, was it because of this man's sin, or the sin of his father and mother, that he has been blind from birth?

Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

To take that position as a servant and Apostle, from which Judas by his sin was shut out, so that he might go to his place.

And going down on his knees, he said in a loud voice, Lord, do not make them responsible for this sin. And when he had said this, he went to his rest.

For I see that you are prisoned in bitter envy and the chains of sin.

What then? are we worse off than they? In no way: because we have before made it clear that Jews as well as Greeks are all under the power of sin;

Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

Happy is the man against whom no sin is recorded by the Lord.

For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?

In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

Because he who is dead is free from sin.

For his death was a death to sin, but his life now is a life which he is living to God.

Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? are we to go on in sin because we are not under law but under grace? Let it not be so.

Are you not conscious that you are the servants of him to whom you give yourselves to do his desire? if to sin, the end being death, or if to do the desire of God, the end being righteousness.

But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

And being made free from sin you have been made the servants of righteousness.

When you were servants of sin you were free from righteousness.

But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.

Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

For we are conscious that the law is of the spirit; but I am of the flesh, given into the power of sin.

So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

But he who is in doubt is judged if he takes food, because he does it not in faith; and whatever is not of faith is sin.

Who will give you strength to the end, to be free from all sin in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is said, in fact, that there is among you a sin of the flesh, such as is not seen even among the Gentiles, that one of you has his father's wife.

Keep away from the desires of the flesh. Every sin which a man does is outside of the body; but he who goes after the desires of the flesh does evil to his body.

If you get married it is not a sin; and if an unmarried woman gets married it is not a sin. But those who do so will have trouble in the flesh. But I will not be hard on you.

But if, in any man's opinion, he is not doing what is right for his virgin, if she is past her best years, and there is need for it, let him do what seems right to him; it is no sin; let them be married.

Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

But if, while we were desiring to get righteousness through Christ, we ourselves were seen to be sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? In no way!

What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.

However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.

So that you may be holy and gentle, children of God without sin in a twisted and foolish generation, among whom you are seen as lights in the world,

In the body of his flesh through death, so that you might be holy and without sin and free from all evil before him:

So that your hearts may be strong and free from all sin before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Give no belief to false words: because there will first be a falling away from the faith, and the revelation of the man of sin, the son of destruction,

Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

Keeping the secret of the faith in a heart free from sin.

I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,

But give comfort to one another every day as long as it is still Today; so that no one among you may be made hard by the deceit of sin:

For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.

And being feeble, he has to make sin-offerings for himself as well as for the people.

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?

For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.

After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,

Now where there is forgiveness of these, 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:

Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin;

For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

Till now you have not given your blood in your fight against sin:

For the bodies of the beasts whose blood is taken into the holy place by the high priest as an offering for sin are burned outside the circle of the tents.

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.

Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.
