'Sins' in the Bible
John was there baptizing in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
And all the Judean region and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem went out to him and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.
And [when] Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Child, your sins are forgiven."
"Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?"
Which is easier to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say 'Get up and pick up your stretcher and walk'?
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--he said to the paralytic--
"Truly I say to you that all the sins and the blasphemies will be forgiven the sons of men, however much they blaspheme.
And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive [him], so that your Father who [is] in heaven will also forgive you your sins."
