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 *and are justified *by his grace as a gift, *through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,

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

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

6 *We have all become like one who is unclean,

and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.

*We all fade like a leaf,

and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; *sin is lawlessness.

1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.*2 For the law of *the Spirit of life *has set you* free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

12 Let not *sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 *Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but *present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For *sin *will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

15 What then? *Are we to sin *because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves *to anyone as obedient slaves,* you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But *thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the *standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, *having been set free from sin, *have become slaves of righteousness.

15 What then? *Are we to sin *because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!

14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, *sold under sin. 15 For I do not understand my own actions. For *I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. 16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with *the law, that it is good. 17 So now *it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me.

34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, *everyone who practices sin is a slave*to sin.

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

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

6 *If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and *do not practice the truth.

1 *Have mercy on me,* O God,

according to your steadfast love;

according to your *abundant mercy

*blot out my transgressions.

2 *Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,

and *cleanse me from my sin!

4 *Against you, you only, have I sinned

and done what is evil *in your sight,

*so that you may be justified in your words

and blameless in your judgment.

5 Behold, *I was brought forth in iniquity,

and in sin did my mother conceive me.

6 Behold, you delight in truth in *the inward being,

and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.

7 Purge me *with hyssop, and I shall be clean;

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

8 Let me hear joy and gladness;

*let the bones *that you have broken rejoice.

9 *Hide your face from my sins,

and *blot out all my iniquities.

5 I *acknowledged my sin to you,

and I did not cover my iniquity;

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

and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

1 *Blessed is the one whose *transgression is forgiven,

whose sin is covered.

11 For your *name’s sake, O Lord,

pardon my guilt, for it is *great.

6 Remember your *mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,

*for they have been from of old.

7 Remember not *the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

according to your *steadfast love remember me,

for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

12 *Who can discern his errors?

*Declare me innocent from *hidden faults.

13 Whoever *conceals his transgressions will not prosper,

but he who *confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

24 *He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we *might die to sin and *live to righteousness. *By his wounds you have been healed.

21 She will bear a son, and *you shall call his name Jesus, *for he will save his people from their sins."

21 *For our sake he made him to be sin *who knew no sin, so that in him we might become *the righteousness of God.

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

8 *Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was *to destroy the works of the devil.

18 We know that *everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but *he who was born of God *protects him, and the evil one does not touch him.

5 *Put to death therefore *what is earthly in you:**sexual immorality, impurity, *passion, evil desire, and covetousness, *which is idolatry.

3 But *sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness *must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

11 *Take no part in the *unfruitful *works of darkness, but instead *expose them. 12 For *it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.

26 *Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

1 Brothers,**if anyone is caught in any transgression, *you who are spiritual should restore him in *a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.

1 Brothers,**if anyone is caught in any transgression, *you who are spiritual should restore him in *a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2 *Bear one another’s burdens, and *so fulfill *the law of Christ.

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

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

6 but *whoever causes one of these *little ones who believe in me to sin,*it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but *do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

14 *For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you,

16 Therefore, *confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, *that you may be healed. *The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.*

17 *So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

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

4 *You adulterous people!* Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? *Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers,* these things ought not to be so.

8 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since *love covers a multitude of sins.

1 Blessed is the man*

who *walks not in *the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in *the way of sinners,

nor *sits in *the seat of *scoffers;

133 *Keep steady my steps according to your promise,

and let no iniquity *get dominion over me.

9 *Whoever walks in integrity walks securely,

but he who makes his ways crooked *will be found out.

45 *The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces *evil, *for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous* will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: *neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,*10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

4 Pilate went out again and said to them, "See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that *I find no guilt in him." 5 So Jesus came out, wearing *the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, *"Behold the man!" 6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, "Crucify him, crucify him!" Pilate said to them, *"Take him yourselves and crucify him, for *I find no guilt in him."

23 *If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld."

7 *If you do well, will you not be accepted?* And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. *Its desire is for* you, and you must rule over it."
