Sin

 

 

DEU 29:18  Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you

today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the

gods of those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces

such bitter poison.

 

2CH 12:14  He did evil because he had not set his heart on seeking the

LORD.

 

JOB 14:4  Who can bring what is pure from the impure? No one!

 

22:5  Is not your wickedness great? Are not your sins endless?

 

PSA 25:11  For the sake of your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, though

it is great.

 

95:10  For forty years I was angry with that generation; I said, "They are

a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known my ways."

 

PRO 4:23  Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of

life.

 

24:8  He who plots evil will be known as a schemer.

 

9  The schemes of folly are sin, and men detest a mocker.

 

ECC 5:6  Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the

temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why should God be angry at what

you say and destroy the work of your hands?

 

ISA 1:6  From the sole of your foot to the top of your head there is no

soundness-- only wounds and welts and open sores, not cleansed or bandaged

or soothed with oil.

 

44:20  He feeds on ashes, a deluded heart misleads him; he cannot save

himself, or say, "Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?"

 

JER 7:24  But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed

the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not

forward.

 

17:9  The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can

understand it?

 

EZE 20:16  because they rejected my laws and did not follow my decrees and

desecrated my Sabbaths. For their hearts were devoted to their idols.

 

MAT 5:28  But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has

already committed adultery with her in his heart.

 

12:31  And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but

the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

 

33  "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and

its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.

 

34  You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For

out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

 

35  The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and

the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.

 

13:24  Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a

man who sowed good seed in his field.

 

25  But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among

the wheat, and went away.

 

38  The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the

kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,

 

39  and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the

age, and the harvesters are angels.

 

15:2  "Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't

wash their hands before they eat!"

 

3  Jesus replied, "And why do you break the command of God for the sake of

your tradition?

 

4  For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his

father or mother must be put to death.'

 

5  But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, 'Whatever help

you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,'

 

6  he is not to 'honor his father' with it. Thus you nullify the word of

God for the sake of your tradition.

 

7  You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

 

8  "'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from

me.

 

9  They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"

 

10  Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen and understand.

 

11  What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what

comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.'"

 

12  Then the disciples came to him and asked, "Do you know that the

Pharisees were offended when they heard this?"

 

13  He replied, "Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will

be pulled up by the roots.

 

14  Leave them; they are blind guides. If a blind man leads a blind man,

both will fall into a pit."

 

15  Peter said, "Explain the parable to us."

 

16  "Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them.

 

17  "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and

then out of the body?

 

18  But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and

these make a man 'unclean.'

 

19  For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual

immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.

 

20  These are what make a man 'unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands

does not make him 'unclean.'"

 

JOH 8:34  Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a

slave to sin.

 

44  You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your

father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the

truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native

language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

 

ROM 5:12  Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and

death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all

sinned--

 

13  for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not

taken into account when there is no law.

 

14  Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses,

even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was

a pattern of the one to come.

 

15  But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the

trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that

came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

 

16  Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The

judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed

many trespasses and brought justification.

 

17  For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one

man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace

and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus

Christ.

 

18  Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for

all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification

that brings life for all men.

 

19  For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made

sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made

righteous.

 

20  The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin

increased, grace increased all the more,

 

21  so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign

through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

7:7  What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would

not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have

known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet."

 

13  Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! But in

order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death in me through

what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly

sinful.

 

14:23  But the man who has doubts is condemned if he eats, because his

eating is not from faith; and everything that does not come from faith is

sin.

 

1CO 5:6  Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast

works through the whole batch of dough?

 

EPH 2:1  As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,

 

2  in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and

of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in

those who are disobedient.

 

HEB 3:13  But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today,

so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

 

12:15  See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter

root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

 

JAM 1:14  but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is

dragged away and enticed.

 

15  Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when

it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

 

2:10  For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is

guilty of breaking all of it.

 

11  For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," also said, "Do not murder."

If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a

lawbreaker.

 

4:1  What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your

desires that battle within you?

 

2  You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot

have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do

not ask God.

 

3  When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives,

that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

 

17  Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it,

sins.

 

2PE 1:4  Through these he has given us his very great and precious

promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and

escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

 

1JO 3:4  Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

 

6  No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin

has either seen him or known him.

 

8  He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been

sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to

destroy the devil's work.

 

9  No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God's seed

remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.

 

10  This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of

the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God;

nor is anyone who does not love his brother.

 

15  Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no

murderer has eternal life in him.

 

5:17  All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
