23 For all have sinned  * and fall short of the  * glory of God;

23 For all have sinned  * and fall short of the  * glory of God; 24 they are justified freely by his grace  * through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.  *

20 For no one will be justified  * in his sight by the works of the law,  * because the knowledge of sin comes through the law.  *

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

6 All of us have become like something unclean,

and all our righteous acts are like a polluted  *  garment;  *

all of us wither like a leaf,  *

and our iniquities  * carry us away like the wind.

4 Everyone who commits sin practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation  * for those in  * Christ Jesus,  *,*2 because the law  * of the Spirit of life  * in Christ Jesus has set you  * free from the law  * of sin and death.  *

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey  * its desires. 13 And do not offer any parts  * of it to sin  * as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God,  * and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness. 14 For sin will not rule over you, because you are not under the law  * but under grace.  *

15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?  * Absolutely not!  *16 Don’t you know that if you offer yourselves to someone  * as obedient slaves,  * you are slaves of that one you obey  *  — either of sin leading to death  * or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But thank God that, although you used to be slaves of sin,  * you obeyed from the heart that pattern of teaching to which you were handed  * over,  *18 and having been set free from sin,  * you became enslaved to righteousness.

15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under the law but under grace?  * Absolutely not!  *

14 For we know that the law is spiritual,  * but I am of the flesh,  * sold  * as a slave under sin.  *15 For I do not understand what I am doing,  * because I do not practice what I want to do,  * but I do what I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me.

34 Jesus responded, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.*

8 If we say, "We have no sin,"  * we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive  * us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive  * us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

6 If we say, "We have fellowship  * with him," and yet we walk in darkness,  * we are lying and are not practicing the truth.  *

1 Be gracious to me, God,

according to your faithful love;

according to your abundant compassion,

blot out my rebellion.  *

2 Completely wash away my guilt

and cleanse me from my sin.  *

4 Against you — you alone — I have sinned

and done this evil in your sight.  *

So you are right when you pass sentence;

you are blameless when you judge.  *

5 Indeed, I was guilty when I was born;

I was sinful when my mother conceived me.  *

6 Surely you desire integrity in the inner self,

and you teach me wisdom deep within.  *

7 Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;

wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.  *

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

let the bones you have crushed rejoice.  *

9 Turn your face away  * from my sins

and blot out all my guilt.  *

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you  *

and did not conceal my iniquity.

I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the  Lord,"

and you forgave the guilt of my sin.  *Selah

1 How joyful is the one

whose transgression is forgiven,

whose sin is covered!  *

11 Lord, for the sake of your name,

forgive my iniquity, for it is immense.  *

6 Remember, Lord, your compassion

and your faithful love,

for they have existed from antiquity.  *,*

7 Do not remember the sins of my youth  *

or my acts of rebellion;  *

in keeping with your faithful love, remember me

because of your goodness, Lord.  *

12 Who perceives his unintentional sins?

Cleanse me from my hidden faults.  *

13 The one who conceals his sins

will not prosper,  *

but whoever confesses and renounces them

will find mercy.  *

24 He himself bore our sins  * in his body  * on the tree;  * so that, having died to sins,  * we might live for righteousness.  *By his wounds*,*you have been healed.

21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus,  * because he will save his people from their sins."  *

21 He made the one who did not know sin  * to be sin  * for us,  * so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

28 so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many,  * will appear a second time,  * not to bear sin, but  * to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.  *

8 The one who commits  * sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God  * was revealed  * for this purpose: to destroy the devil’s works.

18 We know that everyone who has been born of God does not sin, but the one who is born of God keeps him,  *,* and the evil one does not touch him.

5 Therefore, put to death what belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity,  * lust,  * evil desire, and greed,  * which is idolatry.  *

3 But sexual immorality  * and any impurity  * or greed  * should not even be heard of  * among you, as is proper for saints.

11 Don’t participate in the fruitless  * works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret.

26 Be angry and do not sin.*,* Don’t let the sun go down on your anger,

1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle  * spirit,  *,* watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted.  *

1 Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle  * spirit,  *,* watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted.  *2 Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.  *

15 "If your brother sins against you,*go tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.*

15 "If your brother sins against you,*go tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.*

6 "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to fall away — it would be better for him if a heavy millstone were hung around his neck and he were drowned in the depths of the sea.*

3 Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?*

14 "For if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you as well.*

16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.  *

17 So it is sin to know the good and yet not do it.  *

8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.  *

4 You adulterous people!  * Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the friend of the world becomes the enemy of God.  *

10 Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way.

8 Above all, maintain constant love  * for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins.*,*

1 How happy is the one who does not

walk in the advice of the wicked

or stand in the pathway with sinners

or sit in the company of mockers!  *

133 Make my steps steady through your promise;  *

don’t let any sin dominate me.  *

9 The one who lives with integrity lives securely,  *

but whoever perverts his ways will be found out.  *

45 A good person produces good out of the good stored up in his heart. An evil person produces evil out of the evil stored up in his heart, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.

9 Don’t you know that the unrighteous  * will not inherit God’s kingdom?  * Do not be deceived: No sexually immoral people, idolaters,  * adulterers,  * or males who have sex with males,  *,*10 no thieves,  * greedy  * people, drunkards, verbally abusive people,  * or swindlers  * will inherit God’s kingdom.

4 Pilate went outside again and said to them, "Look, I’m bringing him out to you to let you know I find no grounds  * for charging him." 5 Then Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe.  * Pilate said to them, "Here is the man! "  *

6 When the chief priests and the temple servants  * saw him, they shouted, "Crucify! Crucify! "

Pilate responded, "Take him and crucify him yourselves, since I find no grounds for charging him."

23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."*

7 If you do what is right, won’t you be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it."  *
