Pecado
O pecado é a realidade que separa a humanidade de Deus. Mas a Bíblia também revela a solução: o sangue de Cristo que nos purifica e a graça que nos liberta de toda condenação.
A universalidade do pecado
Todos pecaram e carecem da glória de Deus. Não há justo, nem sequer um. O pecado entrou no mundo por um homem, mas a graça veio por Jesus.
For all men sinned, and have need to the glory of God;
For all men sinned, and have need to the glory of God;
and be justified freely by his grace, by the again-buying [or the redemption] that is in Christ.
For of the works of the law each flesh shall not be justified before him; for by the law there is knowing of sin.
For the wages of sin is death; the grace of God is everlasting life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And all we be made as an unclean man; all our rightfulnesses [or rightwisenesses]be as the cloth of a woman in menstruation, or unclean blood; and all we fell down as a leaf, and our wickednesses, as wind, have taken away us.
Each man that doeth sin, doeth also wickedness, and sin is wickedness.
Liberdade da condenação
Não há condenação para os que estão em Cristo Jesus. Ele nos libertou da lei do pecado e da morte para vivermos em novidade de vida.
Therefore now nothing of condemnation is to them that be in Christ Jesus, which wander not after the flesh.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath delivered me from the law of sin, and of death, [or the law of sin, and death].
Therefore reign not sin in your deadly body, that ye obey to his covetings.
Neither give ye your members arms of wickedness to sin, but give ye yourselves to God, as they that live of dead men, and your members arms of rightwiseness to God.
For sin shall not have lordship over you; for ye be not under the law, but under grace.
What therefore? Shall we do sin, for we be not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Know ye not, that to whom ye give you servants to obey to, ye be servants of that thing, to which ye have obeyed, either of sin to death, either of obedience to rightwiseness?
But I thank God, that ye were servants of sin; but ye have obeyed of heart into that form of teaching, in which ye be betaken.
And ye delivered from sin, be made servants of rightwiseness.
What therefore? Shall we do sin, for we be not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
And we know, that the law is spiritual; but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
For I understand not that that I work; for I do not the good thing that I will, but I do that evil thing that I hate.
And if I do that thing that I will not, I consent to the law, that it is good.
But now I work not it now, but the sin that dwelleth in me.
Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, each man that doeth sin, is [the] servant of sin.
Confissão e perdão
Se confessarmos os nossos pecados, Deus é fiel e justo para nos perdoar e purificar de toda injustiça. A confissão liberta a alma.
If we say, that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and truth is not in us.
If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, that he forgive to us our sins, and cleanse us from all wickedness.
If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just, that he forgive to us our sins, and cleanse us from all wickedness.
If we say, that we have fellowship with him, and we wander in darknesses, we lie, and do not truth.
To victory, the psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he entered to Bathsheba. God, have thou mercy on me; by thy great mercy. And by the muchliness of thy merciful doings; do thou away my wickedness.
Moreover wash thou me from my wickedness; and cleanse thou me from my sin.
I have sinned to thee alone, and I have done evil before thee; that thou be justified in thy words, and overcome when thou art deemed.
For lo! I was conceived in wicked-nesses; and my mother conceived me in sins.
For lo! thou lovedest truth; thou hast showed to me the uncertain things, and privy things of thy wisdom.
Lord, sprinkle thou me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; wash thou me, and I shall be made white more than snow.
Give thou joy, and gladness to mine hearing; and bones made meek shall full out make joy.
Turn away thy face from my sins; and do away all my wickednesses.
I made my sin known to thee; and I hid not my unrightfulness. I said, I shall acknowledge against me mine unrightfulness to the Lord; and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
Learning to David. [The under-standing of David.] Blessed be they, whose wickedness be forgiven; and whose sins be covered.
Lord, for thy name, thou shalt do mercy to my sin; for it is much.
Lord, have thou mind of thy merciful doings; and of thy mercies that be from the world.
Have thou not mind on the tres-passes of my youth; and on mine unknowings. Thou, Lord, have mind on me by thy mercy; for thy goodness.
Who understandeth trespasses? make thou me clean from my privy sins;
He that hideth his great trespasses, shall not be made rightful; but he that acknowledgeth and forsaketh them, shall get mercy.
Vencendo o pecado
Cristo nos resgatou e nos restaurou. Devemos mortificar as obras da carne, fugir do pecado e prosseguir em santidade.

He that doeth sin, is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. In this thing the Son of God appeared, that he undo the works of the devil.
We know, that each man that is born of God, sinneth not; but the generation of God keepeth him, and the wicked toucheth him not.
Therefore slay ye your members, which be on the earth, fornication, uncleanness, lechery, evil covetousness, and avarice, which is service of maumets [or simulacra];
And fornication, and all unclean-ness, or avarice, be not named among you, as it becometh holy men;
And do not ye commune to unfruiteous works of darknesses; but more rather reprove ye [them].
For what things be done of them in privy, it is foul, yea, to speak.
Be ye wroth, and do not do sin [or do not ye sin]; the sun fall not down on your wrath.
Responsabilidade e restauração
O pecado tem consequências, mas Deus restaura o arrependido. Devemos corrigir uns aos outros com mansidão e cobrir o pecado com amor.
Brethren, if a man be occupied in any guilt [or overcome in any trespass], ye that be spiritual, inform ye [or teach] such one in spirit of softness, [or meekness], beholding thyself, lest that thou be tempted, [falling in the same wise].

Adulterers, know not ye, that the friendship of this world is enemy [or enmity] to God? Therefore whoever will be the friend of this world, is made the enemy of God.

before all things have ye charity each to other in yourselves always lasting; for charity covereth the multitude of sins.
Fuga do pecado
Bem-aventurado o que não anda no conselho dos ímpios. O caminho do justo é guardado pelo Senhor, e sua Palavra nos protege da queda.
