Sin

If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,

The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”

“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”

Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?

They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.

“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin.

If I had not done among them the works that no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have seen and hated both Me and My Father.

And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

…in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;

Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of greater sin.”

Falling on his knees, he cried out in a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

What then? Are we any better? Not at all. For we have already made the charge that Jews and Greeks alike are all under sin.

Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.

Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.”

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, so also death was passed on to all men, because all sinned.

For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.

Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who did not sin in the way that Adam transgressed. He is a pattern of the One to come.

Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.

Again, the gift is not like the result of the one man’s sin: The judgment that followed one sin brought condemnation, but the gift that followed many trespasses brought justification.

The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

…so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

What then shall we say? Shall we continue in sin so that grace may increase?

Certainly not! How can we who died to sin live in it any longer?

We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

We know that our old self was crucified with Him so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

For anyone who has died has been freed from sin.

The death He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God.

So you too must count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its desires.

Do not present the parts of your body to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and present the parts of your body to Him as instruments of righteousness.

For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!

Do you not know that when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves, you are slaves to the one you obey, whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness?

But thanks be to God that, though you once were slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were committed.

You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.

For when you were slaves to sin, you were free of obligation to righteousness.

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves to God, the fruit you reap leads to holiness, and the outcome is eternal life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

In that case, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

And if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

But the one who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and everything that is not from faith is sin.

Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a man can commit is outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body.

By sinning against your brothers in this way and wounding their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?

Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is led into sin, and I do not burn with grief?

But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!

But the Scripture pronounces all things confined by sin, so that by faith in Jesus Christ the promise might be given to those who believe.

“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,

But those who persist in sin should be rebuked in front of everyone, so that the others will stand in fear of sin.

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way that we are, yet was without sin.

Unlike the other high priests, He does not need to offer daily sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people; He sacrificed for sin once for all when He offered up Himself.

Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

…so also Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly await Him.

In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.

In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).

And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.

He chose to suffer oppression with God’s people rather than to experience the fleeting enjoyment of sin.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.

In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.

Although the high priest brings the blood of animals into the Holy Place as a sacrifice for sin, the bodies are burned outside the camp.

Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.

“He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.”

He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”

Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.

Their eyes are full of adultery; their desire for sin is never satisfied; they seduce the unstable. They are accursed children with hearts trained in greed.

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
