'Sins' in the Bible

John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.

The whole Judean countryside and all the people of Jerusalem were flocking to him, and they were baptized by him in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins.

Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”

“Why does He speak like this? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Which is easier: to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?

But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,” He told the paralytic,

I assure you: People will be forgiven for all sins and whatever blasphemies they may blaspheme.
